Endangered Species Websites
Is it worth it to save endangered species and what role do they play in the ecosystem?
Every species on earth has a specific and important role in the environment. As the second project of the year, students research an endangered species and the issues affecting it, and create a poster about it. The poster is broken up into two major components: ecological and socioeconomic factors. Then the projects are presented in the form of posters to the public. Through this process students will gain advanced knowledge and computer skills in making an effective poster which captures the attention and viewership of many.
Poster Examples:
Past Website Examples:
In the past, SEA-DISC students have created websites instead of posters.
