Mission

The mission of the Science Moab Engagement Initiative Science Moab is to make place-based science accessible to all. We envision communities across the Colorado Plateau thriving from a deeper engagement with science and place-based knowledge. To achieve this goal we are incubating science-based economic opportunities that cherish intact healthy ecosystems while sustaining the local community through three key programs: Outreach science podcast and live event series School to Science science mentorship for underserved high school students and Science Certified innovative science communication training for outdoor recreation guides.

Program accomplishments

  • The Outreach program comprises our free community science outreach programs and offerings including a science radio show podcast science live event series and other media. Some of the audience the program currently engages includes: 1,000+ podcast listeners month; 5,000+ social media followers; 900+ newsletter subscribers; 10,000+ newspaper readers; and hundreds of live event attendees year.
    Expenses $21,278
  • The School to Science program pairs local high school students with scientists working in the field the lab and museums for hands-on science mentorship. Exposure to scientific careers is almost non-existent for most students in this community 77% of whom lack science proficiency and 45% whom are at risk of poverty in adulthood so such opportunities are powerful for students scholastic career and personal development. Since the program launched in August 2021 40 scientist mentors have hosted over 70 students for internships job shadows and field trip series. 99% of participating students report increased scientific literacy 95% of participating students report increased college or career readiness and 93% of participating students report increased interest in science or STEM careers.
    Expenses $21,237
  • Science Certified is-to our knowledge-the only program of its kind in the western US or elsewhere.With some three million visitors recreating on public lands around Moab Utah each year this unique fragile desert environment is under constant and increasing duress from intense use and harmful behavior stemming from lack of knowledge. By providing science communication training to outdoor guides who can in turn educate tens of thousands of visitors each year our Science Certified program increases visitors environmental awareness understanding and responsible behavior while recreating on public lands. Since the program launched in November 2021 weve trained over 425 guides from over 25 organizations businesses. Program participants report an average 2-point increase in scientific knowledge on a 7-point scale and 95% report feeling more comfortable more confident and more likely to communicate science with their clients after completing our training.
