Ambassadors
BirdSleuth Ambassadors are passionate educators who share BirdSleuth with their colleagues.
As a BirdSleuth Ambassador, we ask that you consider these options for getting involved:

Help teachers discover the amazing world of birds, citizen science, and outdoor investigations! Offer a workshop at your school, within your district, or at a conference. To fulfill this role, you should be familiar with BirdSleuth and citizen science. Preferably, you should have used BirdSleuth materials with young people, so you can share your experience! We will provide you with the tools you’ll need to offer a professional development workshop in your area!

3. Hand Out Materials to Your Colleagues
If you think BirdSleuth is great, and want to share it with your colleague, or if you are a professor who mentors pre-service teachers…consider spreading the word about BirdSleuth!
