We propose an
ambitious, multifaceted approach to educational outreach, proposing projects
where there is a mutual advantage to succeed between the current and outside
collaborators. This approach is grounded in the excellent educational outreach
infrastructure that exists at the UA (see Table 1). Many of our collaborators
have long-standing commitments for public and student-based outreach activities
(see letters of support from USGS and USDA-ARS), and our academic colleagues
have decades of experience teaching science to students at all levels.
