Andrew Warnock, Ph.D. Natural Science Education and Outreach
The
focus of Dr. Warnock’s career over the last ten
years has been to share his knowledge of Earth’s evolution
with the widest audience possible while trying not to compromise
too much depth. He has focused on the areas of educational
materials development, professional development of science
teachers, and helping to manage science education for the GLOBE
Program (2004) and the Fort Collins Discovery Science Center
(2004-Present). Most recently, he has developed an innovative
K-12 groundwater program (GetWET funded by
NSF) that lets students research the interconnectedness of
surface water and groundwater in the field with real equipment
and real water. He has also designed a new Geowall 3D projection
system that features the industry’s best rear-projection
screen in a highly portable form factor at low cost. The ability
for him to develop content for the system that spans time, space,
and scale is opening new frontiers in the types of topics he
can bring to teachers and students.
