Arizona Science Center Joins ASTC to raise awareness about Global Warming on a national level.
IGLO, a project of the Association of Science-Technology Centers on the occasion of International Polar Year (March 2007-March 2009), is designed to raise worldwide public awareness about global warming and ways the polar regions profoundly influence Earth's climate, ecosystems, and human society. Visit www.astc.org/IGLO for more information.
Arizona Science Center has joined ASTC and is participating in a National Conversation on Global Climate Change. Phoenix’s very own Mayor Phil Gordon will be joining the Center to examine ways in which we can better share resources and information on these topics with our visitors. Please check back for the results of this conversation and for more information on this topic.
c3: Communicating Climate Change
The Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated (ASTC) Communicating Climate Change project, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), fosters innovative partnerships between research center, the media, and science center, and showcases science centers central role in educating the general public about global climate change. The project is part of our International Action on Global Warming (IGLO) initiative.
Arizona Science Center is one of the twelve science centers participating in this project, and will offer a variety of programs both at the Center and throughout the state, including a free, interdisciplinary middle school unit that explores recent bark beetle infestations as evidence of climate change in the Arizona high country.
