Better Know a Colorado....
A Colorado Local Science Engagement Network Multimedia Project
Better Know a Colorado District
The Better Know a Colorado District project uses light humor to draw out the critical science-policy-society issues, drivers of the economy, and cultural values in each of the seven (soon-to-be eight!) districts of Colorado. The project features story maps to provide virtual tours of each district, as well as interviews with Colorado’s Congressional representatives.

Indigenous Lands and Territories of Colorado
The State of Colorado is located on the traditional and indigenous lands and territories of the Apache, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Pueblo, Shoshone, and Ute peoples. There are 48 contemporary tribal nations historically tied to lands that make up the state of what we now call Colorado.
Better Know a Colorado Issue
Building on Better Know a Colorado District and the climate, environment, economic, and society issues identified through that project, Better Know a Colorado Issue takes a deep dive into the concerns that Colorado residents and policymakers are most worried about. From the energy transition to natural disasters like floods and fires, this project explores what’s happening, why it matters, the science that’s critical to informing the decision-making around it, and the state of the policy.
Better Know a Colorado Border
Colorado doesn't have an international border, but cultural, social, and environmental diversity across this state means that life on the Colorado borders can vary greatly. To help all Coloradans better understand the climate, environment, energy, and technology issues and challenges at our borders with seven other US states, the “Better Know a Colorado…” series has been expanded to look at politics and livelihoods in these places.
