In an inter-disciplinary Everglades seminar, students develop projects that transform both people and materials. One created a live Everglades-themed mural bringing awareness to other students, while another constructed rustic furniture from invasive Brazilian Pepper. Presenters share ideas on how to involve non-science majors in semester projects focusing on the environment.
