Ben Olsen will attend the Educator Academy in the Amazon Rainforest, hosted by the Morpho Institute. This unique professional development opportunity takes place in the Peruvian rainforest and engages teacher-learners in scientific research, cross-cultural connections and community-based conservation initiatives. His main goal is to be immersed in scientific inquiry with the aim of using this as a launching pad for student investigations and inquiry around rainforest biomes as well as native habitats in their community. As a classroom educator and as the K-12 Talented and Gifted Science Department Chair for this district, he will share what he learns with his students and colleagues.
