Wisconsin Science Fest BioBlitz

Join us in a week-long, self-directed citizen science event! We’ll work together to identify non-domesticated animal, plant, and fungi species throughout Appleton. With the easy to use digital citizen science tool iNaturalist, you can log observations by snapping a photo, adding a description, and identifying the species. Don’t worry if you’re not an expert, iNaturalist’s computer vision will make species recommendations based on your photo.

First of Many Program

Are you interested in supporting first-generation college students in their junior year of high school as they began to research and apply to colleges? We need passionate students who are willing to reflect on their own experiences and guide high-school students as they navigate the application process, financial aid, and more!

First of Many includes both the Appleton Area School District (AASD) and the Kaukauna Area School District (KASD), which involves a total of four public high schools. We have a service shuttle and Valley Transit resources for transportation, and it would include a commitment of one term (one session per week during the school day).

This form (linked below) is to see how many LU students are interested in mentoring. Once we begin revising the curriculum and collaborating with the districts (late fall), we will reach out to each student who has completed the form to make an official commitment to the program.
