Oceanarium Team present results from advancement of Ocean Literacy at College for Kids
MSUM Biosciences undergraduates Kathryn Hanson and Amber Sullivan, and Oceanarium Facility Coordinator Phil Larson hosted three sessions of Junior Aquarists Camp for Kids (JACK) to youth aged 9-14 at the College for Kids program this summer, organized by Sean Brandenburg. In JACK, they taught the principles of Ocean Literacy and then assessed the learning outcomes from program participants. These results were presented as a poster in November at the New England Ocean Science Collaborative (NEOSEC) Ocean Literacy Summit: Connecting Climate, Communities, and Coasts, convened in Gloucester, MA.
