DataStreme
The main goal of DataStreme is to train Weather Resource Education Teachers for grades K-12. DataStreme is a 13 week distance learning course. Teachers successfully completing the course will receive 3 semester hour graduate credits from the State University of New York at Brockport. The course also requires 3 group meetings. One meeting will be at the local National Weather Service Office. In southern Colorado, the group has a tour of the National Weather Service Office in Pueblo. More information is available on the DataStreme Information Page .
For more information on DataStreme, a list of Local Implementation Team leaders for the entire country is also available.
