Greenworks: New Cohort Fund

Greetings all,

As always, thank you for your support of the Greenworks program.  While our partners have been busy on their projects, we've been focusing on the next phase of the program, which includes building a broader network for exchange of technologies, skills, and strategies.

Towards that end, we hosted two students this summer through the Blue Marble Space Institute of Science's Young Scientist Program.  We have been affiliated with this astrobiology and sustainability distributed institute for many years and are always happy to provide young scientists with internship opporunities June-August.  This year, the Greenworks projects were the ones that attracted the most attention.  Sebastián, from Guatemala, worked on developing sensors for counting native bees as they enter and exit their hives in support of the Beeworks project.  The ultimate goal is to develop a network of partners who are developing low-cost electronics and sensors to support projects all over the world in the Greenworks network.  Deivy, from Ecuador and studying in Argentina, worked on developing social media accounts and stories about our Greenworks project for Facebook and Instagram, which we are getting ready to launch soon.  The goal here is to develop a broader learning community around our Greenworks projects.

Our next donations matching opportunity through GlobalGiving will be on Giving Tuesday (December 3rd).  Please keep us in mind, as your generosity will help support our partners into 2025.

With gratitude,

Lev
