Education, Outreach and Training

The iPlant Collaborative offers opportunities for novel approaches to education, outreach, and training at multiple levels, from K12 to the citizen naturalist to the scientifically literate layperson to the fledgling scientist in training. We envision creative ways to use cyberinfrastructure (CI) to teach about plant biology and new opportunities to train teachers and students in the use of CI. We propose cross-training in biology and computer science for students of all ages and teacher workshops for training in the use and implementation of CI for teaching plant biology.
