This CRPA project is about research on climate change impacts in the Amazonian rain forest and about motivating youth to consider science as a career objective. The project is an exhibit in Biosphere 2 in Arizona wherein a rain forest is maintained and will be used to augment the exhibit of large photos of scientists doing research. Particular attention will be paid to female scientists to motivate young girls. Biosphere 2 and the Girl Scout Council of Southern Arizona will collaborate to attract girls through free admission days to Biosphere 2.These large photos will be equipped with sound and video so that as a visitor approaches the photo, the sounds of the forest as well as the researcher(s) will be heard. At this point the researcher, in the photograph, will begin a monologue with the visitor explaining what scientists are investigating and who the other workers are. In this monologue, the researcher will explain what they are doing specifically, why they are investigating this subject, and what they plan to derive as a scientific result. The exhibit will consist of fifty very large photographs (3x5 feet) with sound access via smart phones and headsets. In addition, there will be hands on equipment and docents for questions and discussion. The venue receives about 100,000 visitors per year consisting mainly of families, tourists, and clubs.Through this exhibit, the researchers intend to motivate youth to develop interests in STEM topics. Girls are the main target audience. For families and tourists, the exhibit communicates the message of how science is being used to determine the effect of climate change on rain forests and how that would affect other aspects of weather and the global environment.

这个CRPA项目是关于关于亚马逊雨林中气候变化影响的研究，并激励青年将科学视为职业目标。该项目是亚利桑那州生物圈2的展览，其中维持了雨林，并将用于增加进行研究的科学家的大照片。特别关注女性科学家激励年轻女孩。 生物圈2和亚利桑那州南部女童军委员会将通过免费入场日为生物圈吸引女孩2.这些大照片将配备声音和视频，以便在访客接近照片时，森林的声音以及研究人员的声音将被听到。在这一点上，研究人员在照片中将与访客一起开始独白，解释了科学家正在调查什么以及其他工人是谁。在这一独白中，研究人员将解释他们在做什么，为什么要研究这个主题，以及他们打算推出的科学结果。展览将包括五十张非常大的照片（3x5英尺），并通过智能手机和耳机进行合理的访问。此外，还将有一些问题和文书进行问题和讨论。该场地每年将接待大约100,000名游客，主要由家庭，游客和俱乐部组成。通过这次展览，研究人员打算激励青年对STEM主题产生兴趣。女孩是主要的目标受众。 对于家庭和游客，展览传达了如何使用科学来确定气候变化对雨林的影响的信息，以及这将如何影响天气和全球环境的其他方面。
