WeatherBlur is a two-year Track 1 project that advances public earth system science literacy, enables a dialogue between stakeholders, and promotes the development of a future geosciences workforce. Building upon a proven model for teacher professional development and K-8 student engagement, WeatherBlur designs, develops, and evaluates the effectiveness of a framework for earth science learning across the continuum from child to adult. The project centers on the creation of a non-hierarchical, place-based, learning community model to influence all learners' earth systems science literacy and overall science identity. Weather Blur incorporates online and community engagement learning methods in eight rural, natural-resource dependent coastal communities. K-8 students, teachers, parents, fishermen, and other community members from six communities in Maine, and two communities from other coastal regions of the United States, interact with active researchers in a learning community of 100 participants, including at least 50 students and teachers. The focus is specifically on two STEM topic areas of strong community interest: coastal geomorphology and historical weather and climate patterns in participants' regions. Participants engage with each other in person and online by uploading and sharing weather data, photos, and video, and analyzing and discussing their results via blog, wiki, graph, and map formats. WeatherBlur leverages students' facility with technology and community interest in a STEM topic - in this case, weather and its impact on their lives - to bring together a diverse group of learners in a highly interactive online learning community. Through this learning community, scientists, teachers, grades K-8 students, parents, and fishermen actively engage with each other and learn from one another.

WeatherBlur是一个为期两年的轨道1项目，旨在提高公众的地球系统科学素养，促进利益相关者之间的对话，并促进未来地球科学工作队伍的发展。基于教师专业发展和K-8学生参与的成熟模型，WeatherBlur设计，开发和评估了从儿童到成人的地球科学学习框架的有效性。 该项目的中心是创建一个无等级、基于地点的学习社区模式，以影响所有学习者的地球系统科学素养和整体科学身份。 Weather Blur在八个依赖自然资源的沿海农村社区采用了在线和社区参与学习方法。来自缅因州六个社区的K-8学生，教师，家长，渔民和其他社区成员，以及来自美国其他沿海地区的两个社区，在100名参与者的学习社区中与活跃的研究人员互动，其中包括至少50名学生和教师。重点特别放在社区强烈关注的两个STEM主题领域：参与者地区的沿海地貌和历史天气和气候模式。参与者通过上传和分享天气数据、照片和视频，并通过博客、维基、图表和地图格式分析和讨论他们的结果，在网上和私下进行互动。 WeatherBlur利用学生对STEM主题的技术和社区兴趣的设施-在这种情况下，天气及其对他们生活的影响-将不同的学习者群体聚集在一个高度互动的在线学习社区中。通过这个学习社区，科学家，教师，年级K-8学生，家长和渔民积极参与，互相学习。
