Watershed Walkabout Program
Our Signature Program has been running since 2018 and brings marine science into the classroom. As part of the Marine CSI experience, we offer interactive, inquiry-based STEAM lessons to Southeastern NC schools. Through these programs, students in K-12 public, private, and homeschool settings have an opportunity to learn about the coastal habitats in the Cape Fear River and White Oak-New River Basins right in their classrooms.
Students have fun while learning about our coastal ecosystems, experiment with the scientific process, and learn how to conserve wildlife for their future. Teachers will find that each activity meets the requirements for the new 2023 NC State Science Standards by focusing on modeling science concepts. Currently, this program is offered to schools in New Hanover, Brunswick, Pender, Onslow, Duplin, and Bladen Counties.
