Hear about how respect for Earth can help us attain a more sustainable lifestyle in the face of climate change in this video segment adapted from United Tribes Technical College.

This series of courses and learning modules are designed to offer a two-quarter entry-level employment preparation or college readiness program targeting either employment in aerospace and advanced manufacturing or continuing education in a manufacturing program. The pre-employment program includes applied mathematics, blueprint reading, computer skills, manufacturing basics, English-as-a-second language for aerospace, and shop safety. OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 certification student handbooks, and a course outline for integrating WorkKeys into the program are included. An outline of assembly skills in drilling and riveting illustrate a specific entry level employment opportunity.

This video from First Alaskans Institute spotlights the Alaska Native community of St. Paul and its hands-on commitment to care for the land and animals on which it depends.

In this video segment from Nature, learn about the problems bears are creating on ranch land surrounding Yellowstone National Park.

This Nature video segment explores how the relationship between humans and grizzly bears has changed over the course of American History, and it describes the closing of the Yellowstone National Park garbage dumps in the 1970s.

Learn about the precautions humans must take in the face of a growing grizzly bear population in this video from Nature.

In this series of activities students investigate the effects of black carbon on snow and ice melt in the Arctic. The lesson begins with an activity that introduces students to the concept of thermal energy and how light and dark surfaces reflect and absorb radiant energy differently. To help quantify the relationship between carbon and ice melt, the wet lab activity has students create ice samples both with and without black carbon and then compare how they respond to radiant energy while considering implications for the Arctic.

Find out how serious head concussions can be in this video segment adapted from NOVA scienceNOW.

In this video segment adapted from A Science Odyssey, learn about bubonic plague and how city officials in San Francisco tried to contain its spread in the early 1900s..

In this video segment adapted from NOVA, find out how cars made of a material stronger than steel and half the weight can help combat climate change.

Learn about the Chandra X-Ray Observatory's telescope system, science instruments, and spacecraft system in this interactive activity adapted from NASA.

In this video adapted from the Arctic Athabaskan Council, learn how warmer temperatures in the Arctic are transforming the landscape, triggering a host of effects such as permafrost thawing and insect infestations.

This video segment from Nature shows the destructiveness of the shark fin and shark cartilage industries.

This activity addresses climate change impacts that affect all states that are part of the Colorado River Basin and are dependent on its water. Students examine available data, the possible consequences of changes to various user groups, and suggest solutions to adapt to these changes.

Watch a video that explains how to write a comparison/contrast essay. Print a document to accompany the video for more practice. Comparison/contrast essays help you learn really efficiently, because they present information in a way our brains like. When we see something new, we want to know how it's similar to something we already know about, and how it's different, too. Let's say that you need to buy a car. When you look at the different models, you'll compare what's similar and different between the models. When a cell phone manufacturer comes up with a new model, they tell you what great features the phone has that people have liked before (the similarities) and what fantastic new features it has that help it stand out (the differences).

The levels of contaminants found in particular animals vary widely depending on where they fit into the Arctic food chain, as described in this video segment adapted from LOKE Films and the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme.

In this video segment adapted from LOKE Films and the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme, learn how human populations in the Arctic are affected by industrial contaminants in the food chain.

This video segment from Outdoor Nevada examines threats to the desert tortoise population.

In this video segment from Nature, learn about six different breeds of cattle.

This project, which started in May 2021, has a duration of two years ending last April 2023.
DITMEP project aims to improve manufacturing learning, in particular Risk Prevention courses, generating digital capabilities on the methodology (through e-learning, gamification and augmented reality experiences) for educators and trainees. This supports and helps the transformation of manufacturing training aftermath of COVID-19.
DITMEP has developed these blended courses for risk prevention with digital capabilities, in a transnational format solution for an innovative and reinforced education on composites manufacturing, which can be easily replicated at other sectors.
The DITMEP project consortium is composed of 5 partners, from 3 different EU countries (Germany, Spain, Portugal). Partners come from the training center, university and certifier sectors to cover all aspects of training course development.
The main objectives of the project are:
• Training course deployment in an e-learning platform with a core syllabus on Risk Prevention and Health, prepared for its adaptation to the specific countries regulation.
• Deployment of a common gamification methodology for Risk Prevention training modules
• AR mobile application development to support 2 series of learning experiences proposed as part of the core training (virtual spaces signalisation and emergency drills).
• To reinforce learners and teachers with digital capabilities: guides on how to use the materials, how to complement in-presence teaching and to develop on-line trainings.
• Tools and methodology evaluation through pilot training implementations (in all 3 countries) with included tests for evaluation the procedures from the teachers/learners.
Despite the corona pandemic, work in all work packages was able to start in May 2021. The fact that the topic of "digitization" has become extremely central nowadays motivates all project partners and shows that our research project has gained relevance again. The digital tools developed in this project will help to continue to provide high-quality training in the future.
Our training course "Prevention of occupational hazards in composite manufacturing” consists of the two blocks "General Risks" and "Specific Risks in Composite manufacturing". The first block is divided into 3 units, the second block is divided into 5 units. Each unit will have its own theoretical part in which the trainee has to build up his knowledge. What you have learned can be applied in the practical part. For our “Personal Safety Equipment” and “Signalization” units, the practical part consists of AR tools, which we developed as part of the project.
The theoretical part has been completed and translated into the respective languages of the consortium members (English, Spanish, German and Portuguese). All learning material are available on a Moodle platform and downloadable. The Moodle platform, the AR tools and the entire training course have been validated in pilot tests
