What is this about?

Our K‑12 outreach introduces children and teens to nature, acoustics, and computing through hands‑on activities powered by BirdNET. Projects range from simple listening exercises to building a low‑cost recording station.

  • Learn about local birds, habitats, and sound.
  • Explore how AI recognizes bird songs and calls.
  • Do step‑by‑step projects for home or classroom.

Note: Some materials are in active development and may change over time.
