You are invited to become a part of iLIVE – Investigating Life In Various Environments.
We are developing this as a national initiative in biodiversity to engage Head Start parents and staff in keeping the spirit and work of George Washington Carver alive in our children and in our communities.
Our goal is to recruit Head Start parents, teachers, and their children here in Baltimore and across the country to participate in developing and sharing information about the plant, animal and human life in the environments around their centers and homes.
The first major iLIVE STEAM InVenTure will focus on tracking the changes in plants, animals and people through the fall, winter, and spring seasons across the country.
Seasonal changes affect all life. Let’s investigate how they are alike and different in Baltimore, Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles, etc. . .
