This two-part webinar series was designed for educators to bring coding and citizen science to their learners.
The series bridged GLOBE Mosquito Habitat Mapper—a NASA-supported program where students and community members collect environmental data—with EMERGE, a Florida-based but widely adaptable project that turns those data into insights about mosquito-borne disease risk.
Session 1 (September 17th): Introduction to EMERGE and GLOBE. Participants learned how students can collect mosquito habitat and land cover data with the free GLOBE Observer app, then complete a guided coding assignment to visualize those observations on maps and explore connections with NASA satellite data. Designed for people who haven’t coded before!
Session 2 (September 24th): We regrouped to review the coding assignment—troubleshoot issues, share sample outputs, and discuss strategies for adapting the lesson in classrooms, afterschool programs, and libraries.
