My NSTA / Peers / Jennifer Fee

Jennifer Fee was hired by the Cornell Lab in 2004 to develop and field-test the BirdSleuth curriculum. That curriculum has grown into a suite of lessons, curriculum kits, and professional training opportunities for teachers (www.birds.cornell.edu/k12/). She previously managed the school programs for the Missouri Botanical Garden and graduated from the Biology programs at Truman State University (BS) and Illinois State University (MS). She is the co-author of Citizen Science: 15 Lessons That Bring Biology to Life, published by NSTA Press, as well as numerous STEM resources and articles. She is passionate about finding and sharing engaging ways to connect kids to their local outdoors, especially through citizen science. Outside work, she enjoys going on outdoor adventures with her elementary-aged daughter, traveling to new places, and adding new birds to her eBird life list.
