Here are some ideas for who to share projects with that promotes relevance, motivation and engagement:
- Community habitat tours: students could share their projects and videos about local habitats with town clerk, so they can be added to the town website.
- Film festival: invite school board members, the community, and local Nature Conservancy, Sierra Club, and other groups to view student videos and presentations. These could be shared on a padlet, slide show, or Google Site.

- Salamander Party and Learning Fair: have students invite the school community to a virtual fair where students share their projects.
