Teacher Workshops
We are so excited to announce a new opportunity for teachers to learn more about our programs, curriculum, and activities!
Marine CSI has created a curriculum for environmental and marine science that you can incorporate into your science classes or teach as a weekly special at your school/facility! Our Coastal Curriculum provides you with lesson plans and background information for a FULL semester of environmental science and a FULL semester of marine science for your students to enjoy.
NEW FOR 2024! Our in-person workshops will offer both indoor and outdoor activities, thanks in part to our partnership with NC Sea Grant. You will have the opportunity to receive both CEU credit, as well as North Carolina Environmental Education Criteria II credit.
Pre-registration and payment is required to attend. Click on THIS LINK to access our registration and payment form.
