Mass. Audubon Offers “Virtual Internship” Simulation for Land-Science Education

The Massachusetts Audubon Society invites both formal and informal educators to apply to join the Land Science Educator Network LSEN and gain free access to Land Science, its online simulation of an urban planning firm during the coming school year.  This “virtual internship” is suitable for middle- and high-school students, either in the classroom, in after-school clubs, or in other organizations.  Over the course of 8 to 12 hours, students play the role of interns at a virtual urban planning firm and take on real-world STEM problems in land science that have no clear-cut, optimal solutions.  Teachers overseeing these projects can share resources online via LSEN.  For more information, contact Jen Klein, Mass Audubon LSEN Project Manager, at jklein@massaudubon.org.
