Abstract
Here we describe an educational project launched with a community group in Brandywine Maryland (BTB Coalition), the University of Maryland, College Park and the AGU thriving earth Exchange to educate and inform local citizens of air quality and particulate matter concerns in the southern Maryland region. Successful community science requires skills and approaches that are not often emphasized or rewarded in traditional science research or education. This presentation will discuss the strategies, challenges, and outcomes to engage aerosol scientists with local communities in aerosol and air quality educational issues.
