ATA MYC Middle School Conference 2024

Imagine walking on a giant map, following the local river to the ocean. What connections could you make? What questions would you ask about the places you observe? Join us for an interactive session to explore the connections between ourselves and the water surrounding and sustaining us. We will investigate locally relevant aquatic topics where the giant floor map can serve as an instructional tool, such as biodiversity, ecosystems, water systems, ocean-climate action, and more. 

Additionally, we will discover how immersive technologies, such as augmented reality, can facilitate an inquiry-based approach and inspire all who experience learning on/with the map to take action, ensuring healthy ocean and freshwater systems for future generations. 

**This is a BYOD-facilitated session. A smart device (Android/ iPad iOS) will enable access to the immersive augmented reality experience.**
