The STEM Research Center serves as the Schoolyard LTER partner for the Andrews Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program. Our work focuses on providing authentic science experiences and building data literacy for K-12 teachers and facilitating and evaluating field trips for middle school students. Many center research projects leverage and build upon this partnership, including the Authentic Research Experience for Teachers at Long-Term Ecological Research sites (ARETs@LTERs) and the Advancing Public Engagement Across LTER sites, and the Undergraduate Field Experiences Research Network.
