During Project Crystal Code, middle school students investigate the role that microbiomes, decomposition, and the carbon cycle play in restoration. During the program, students construct a computer model of the ecosystem and then build and code their own environmental sensors, which they use to collect data when they come out to the State Park.

This ten-session program includes flexible activities to incorporate into your classroom. Classes can also take part in a field trip to Moro Canyon to use their sensors to collect real environmental data in the field.
