Microcosmos Wilderness Workshop
June 23-28, 1997
La Jara, New Mexico

Spend a glorious week in the beautiful mountains of northern New Mexico,
discovering the microbial connections in a wilderness environment.

Through reflective outdoor experiences, deepen your understanding of the
natural world and the critical roles that microorganisms play on the planet.

Learn to fish for microbes in the wild, capture their images on your
computer, and share them with others using the Internet.

Activities include horseback riding and hiking explorations with an
interdisciplinary, cultural, and historical emphasis.

Cost: $850 includes room, board, and the workshop and activities at La
Jara Creek Ranch. Graduate credit may be available through Boston University
for an additional fee. Travel expenses are not included.

Presented by members of the Southwest and Microcosmos Central (Boston) Teams.

Microcosmos is an innovative science education and professional
development program at Boston University's School of Education.
The Central Team of teachers, scientists, and artists have created
inquiry-based explorations that invite students to deepen their
understanding of science and its connection to
other disciplines through the fascinating world of micro-organisms. The
Southwest Microcosmos Center has been established by a team of New Mexico
teachers to promote Microcosmos professional development opportunities in
their area.
