Educator involvement is integral to achievement of the BES mission. Opportunities exist for educators working with students at every stage of learning --- K-12, undergraduate, and graduate. Teachers involved in after school, community or summer groups are also welcome to share our resources. Educators can learn with us and also directly contribute to answering one of the three central questions of the BES Project:
 
How can urban residents develop and use an understanding of the metropolis as an ecological system to improve the quality of their environment and their daily lives?
 
To explore opportunities for students and to find out how you can be part of our work visit:
