Stephen Quigley and his co-collaborator, Cassie Quigley (Science Education), along with graduate students Holly Plank (Learning Sciences) and Hillary Henry (Learning Sciences), have been awarded a Year of Data and Society grant for their science communication project titled My Nature Outing. My Nature Outing provides middle and high school students an ingress into environmental education and computer science. The program encourages students to first embed in nature while completing several multimodal documentation and data collection activities. During these activities, students test the affordances and constraints of different media for data collection, including photography, sound recording, and journaling. After a morning spent in the woods collecting data, students return to a classroom space where they work with code to develop a webtext that circulates their findings. The Year of Data and Society award will provide My Nature Outing with the tools and resources to support outings at different locations around Pittsburgh.
