Abstract

We examined a training program designed to catalyze engagement with climate change through Informal Science Learning Centers (e.g. aquariums, zoos). 7,285 visitors observing presentations conducted before and after communication training completed surveys. Results suggest that presentations following training led to greater visitor engagement and suggest methods of promoting future engagement.
