Organize & Host Eclipse Learning Event
If you are interested in organizing & running an eclipse learning event, please let us know! You are free to use any of eclipse learning materials available on the EclipseSoundscapes.org website and we are happy to collaborate with you hopefully provide 1 or more eclipse experts for a virtual Q&A as a part of your event.
Organize and Run a Citizen Science Club
- We hope that this club could run similar to a book club.
- You first meet to discuss eclipses and break to learn more asynchronous, perhaps using our website or via a related book
- You meet again with a tech focus ready to setup the audio devices, and break for members to experience eclipse and deploy AudioMoths
- You meet to discuss experience, collect data, mail in SD Cards
