Description :
Faculty and students from Nathan Hale Middle School have partnered with Keep Omaha Beautiful to assist with neighborhood and park clean ups this fall. Students will learn about urban heat, how heat impacts cities, and will understand their environmental foot print. Nathan Hale students will conduct research on Omaha’s urban heat and green space and compare it to another city. Students will present their findings with tri-fold poster presentations. UNO students will assist Nathan Hale students in designing their presentation and providing speaking tips.
