  • A big thank you to @patchofheavensanctuary and its Executive Director, Fred Hubbard, for partnering with @gen2050youth !!Beginning this spring, GEN2050 students will work alongside POH to 1) document the critically endangered Atala butterflies, Mexican Freetail Bats, and critically endangered Florida Bonneted Bats observed at POH, 2) remove invasive plant species and plant native plant species, including plants for pollinators, 3) manage honey bee colonies, conduct honey bee queen breeding using Jenter and Nicoh techniques, and install native bee house at POH, and 4) provide peer education tours of the project to Miami-Dade County elementary, middle, and high school students. The Bats, Bees, and Butterflies Project will provide science education opportunities in biodiversity education, ecology, entomology, environmental sciences, genetics and heredity, and zoology in a natural, outdoor, South Florida ecosystem. This unique science education opportunity will provide hands-on science experience within ongoing, local conservation efforts. The proposed project intends to inspire GEN2050 students to begin critically thinking about how they can safeguard the future of the ecosystems they depend on in South Florida. #endangeredspecies#STEM #bats #butterflies #environmentalsustainability #environmentalconservation #biodiversity #gen2050🌎 #entomology #bees #honeybee (photo credit: @suprime3o5 )

  • A big THANK YOU to the @caterpillarinc Global Aftermarket Solutions Division - E&T America’s team that spent the afternoon yesterday in @trinity_urban_garden. These engineers spent time with us and Fiona, our @farm.bot, troubleshooting our programming and WiFi issues. Fiona is an integral part of @gen2050youth 2019 summer urban gardening projects and our @miamifoundation Public Space Challenge 2018 grant. #farmbot #fionathefarmbot #publicspacechallenge #urbangardening #STEM #youthdevelopment #environmentalsustainability #fooddesert #foodinsecurity #engineering #engineer 🍉🍓🍅🥑🥥🥕🍌🥬🥒🌽
