Expeditions in Learning: The Power of High Impact Practices in STEM

Traditionally, community-based research has been most prominent in the social sciences. But that’s quickly changing. Students, staff and faculty interested in community-based research in STEM disciplines are invited to a new program at the Morgridge Center for Public Service on Tuesday, Nov. 18 from 3-5 p.m. “Expeditions in Learning: The Power of High Impact Teaching and Learning Practices in STEM” is designed to provide insight into ongoing STEM community-based research and advice for future projects. The program is open to anyone in the UW–Madison community. The program will take place at the Morgridge Center for Public Service offices in the Red Gym: Room 154. Topics will include:
  • Intro to community-based research (CBR) in STEM disciplines
  • Case studies
  • Advice about incorporating CBR into your research
  • Guest speaker Catherine Woodward, from WISCIENCE, will discuss her water quality research in Ecuador.
If possible, please RSVP to Haley Madden at hmadden@wisc.edu.
