<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Are you interested in having your students work with real data to learn key concepts while gaining valuable data skills? Do you want your student to be able to address large-scale ecological questions using data
from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON)? Join the QUBES/NEON Data Education Fellows Faculty Mentoring Network (FMN) and implement educational materials using NEON data in your classroom. The Faculty Mentoring Network format allows you to interact
with colleagues who are also implementing NEON data-centered activities in their classroom to learn from what each other does. </span></p>
