Worcester has been experiencing an increase in cyanobacteria blooms in recent years. To counteract this, the Worcester Cyanobacteria Monitoring Collaborative (WCMC) has been releasing informational material to increase knowledge about this issue. Our team worked with the WCMC to create STEM learning modules that teach the youth different ways to identify cyanobacteria and measures they can take to prevent its growth. In addition to interviewing teachers, Scout leaders, and WCMC volunteers, we ran a pilot test with the Worcester Cub Scouts to develop modules that the WCMC can use internally or distribute to other organizations.
