Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) hosted a one-day teacher workshop during the 2017 Summer Meeting held in Bloomington, Indiana. Twelve middle and high school teachers from around the country participated in the 1-day workshop.

The 2017 workshop equipped educators with a recreational drone which allowed them to test and refine activity ideas to facilitate drone-based STEM learning in classrooms. The workshop featured NOAA Data in the Classroom (https://dataintheclassroom.noaa.gov/) and highlighted using NOAA GOES-16 educational resources (http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/education/goesr/). Participants also learned about the August 21 solar eclipse, the SEDAC Hazards Mapper ( http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/mapping/hazards/) and NASA’s Hazards and Population Mapper.
