Project Dragonfly reaches millions of children, parents, and educators through print, web, and broadcast media. The project began with the launch of the NSF-funded Dragonfly magazine, the first national magazine to feature children's investigations (published by the National Science Teachers Association). Since its inception, Project Dragonfly has pioneered inquiry-driven reform to increase public engagement in science and global understanding. Some current Project Dragonfly programs:
Earth Expeditions is a global conservation program that brings educators and scientists together at conservation hotspots in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Graduate-credit workshops include "Namibia: Great Cat Conservation," "Thailand: Conservation and Buddhism," and "Mongolia: Steppe Ecology and Conservation."
DragonflyTV is a national PBS television series that brings Dragonfly's "real kids, real science" approach to a national television audience. Produced by TPT public television, the NSF-funded DragonflyTV reaches more than 1.5 million viewers every week.
iDiscovery, is a partnership between Project Dragonfly and Ohio's Project Discovery. Discovery facilitates teacher learning communities via an advanced web platform, and provides graduate-credit courses from Miami University to more than 2,000 educators a year.
Wild Reseach is designed to deepen public engagement in science and conservation at zoos, aquariums, and similar learning environments nationwide. Conducted with the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden and a consortium of partner zoos and aquariums, Wild Research involves families directly in research and conservation action through Wild Research stations, participatory learning media, and education programs.
