About Visualizing Change:
Visualizing Change is a 3-year grant funded by NOAA’s Office of Education to help build educator capacity in the aquarium, zoo and informal science education community to more effectively communicate about climate change and its impact on coastal zones and marine life. The project utilizes NOAA datasets and visualizations in providing interpreters with training and strategic framing communication tools based on the best available social and cognitive research.

Facilitators: Katie Hart (Seattle Aquarium) and Nicole Killebrew (Seattle Aquarium) are Pacific Northwest project representatives. Both are key staff and have helped in development, testing, and training educators in the use of all four visual narratives.
