The Students Discover: eMammal Camera-Trap Stakeout is a collaborative project funded by the National Science Foundation, and in partnership with the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and North Carolina State University.

During the project I will help co-create, implement and refine camera trap modules aligned with the NC Middle School curriculum standards and work with researchers and educators from the NC Museum of Natural Sciences and the NC Science House to implement professional development designed to help other teachers learn to engage their students in citizen science projects.

The mentors of the project are scientists Drs. Roland Kays and Stephanie Schuttler of NCSU and the NC Museum of Natural Sciences. My fellow educators that I am collaborating with are Dayson Pasion and Kelsie Armentrout.
