The Luquillo LTER Data Jam invites high and middle school students to find interesting ways to present scientific data to non-scientist audiences.
Students use ecological data collected at the El Yunque National Forest by the Luquillo LTER, Luquillo Critical Zone Observatory, and USGS Water to create a project that presents the data in a non-traditional way. An important component of the activity is encouraging students to get creative. Project examples include children’s books, raps, videos, models, presentations, and infographics. Students will present their project at the Luquillo, Sevilleta and Jornada LTER’s Schoolyard Symposium hosted virtually via ZOOM on Friday, May 9th, 2021.
