Wild Research!

Wild Research, Project Dragonfly

March 01, 2010 by Chris Myers

Wild Research is devoted to deepening engagement in science at zoos and aquariums nationwide. We are building public Wild Research Stations at popular exhibits, and finding that in free-choice zoo environments families demonstrate a striking preference for inquiry-enabled exhibits.

We also bring ISE professionals to Africa, Asia, and the Americas, where we work with field scientists through inquiry workshops and graduate degree programs. (http://www.projectdragonfly.org/gfp)
