MESS Hall: Extreme Precipitation Workshop

I'm your huckleberry

The Pensacola MESS Hall is hosting a free Extreme Precipitation workshop for teens and adults on March 25 from 6 to 8 p.m. This interactive program will challenge participants to assume the role of resilience planners for a fictional town experiencing increased rainfall.

During this hands-on workshop, attendees will:
– Balance stakeholder opinions and intervention effectiveness
– Collaborate to allocate limited resources for addressing concerns
– Explore social, economic, and environmental impacts of extreme precipitation
– Recommend resilience strategies
– Learn how community science helps identify at-risk communities

“Science can only answer a limited number of questions,” notes Dr. Megan Pratt, Executive Director of the Pensacola MESS Hall. “This program highlights how policymakers must weigh science with many different competing influences.”

This free program was developed by Arizona State University’s Consortium for Science, Policy & Outcomes, Museum of Science – Boston, National Informal STEM Education Network, Northeastern University, and SciStarter, with funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Local support comes from the Bear Family Foundation.

Registration is encouraged. Visit pensacolamesshall.org for more information and to register.
