AI and Museum Education- Survey Extended
Dear colleagues,
Do you consider yourself an environmental educator? If so, we'd like to invite you to share your perspective on the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in non-formal environmental education. This survey is intended for participants, over the age of 18, who work in non-formal settings conducting environmental education programs in the United States of America. This may include zoos, aquariums, science centers, nature centers, parks, or other out-of-school setti...
