On Tuesday, Colorado State University students in the Fish, Wildlife and Conservation Biology semester education abroad program at the CSU Todos Santos Center in Baja California Sur, Mexico held a BioBlitz and wildlife biology festival for students within the local community.
The BioBlitz – a race to identify as many species of plants, animals, and other organisms as possible in a short time period – allowed an interactive educational opportunity for the more than 500 local student participants. The students, ranging from elementary to high school, learned about insects, birds, and nocturnal animals inhabiting the region. Fifteen CSU students crafted experiential learning activities and hosted the event with students from PACE, a science education outreach program at CIBNOR, one of CSU’s educational partners in Mexico.
