Reserve your program now by calling Sandy at 732-872-1300, ext. 13 or by email at reservations@njseagrant.org.
New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium’s Scout program offers Individual Enrollment programs in the fall. The environmental science program is now fully booked and closed but there are still spaces in the oceanography program. You can register here.
For more information please contact Jody Sackett, scout program coordinator, at 732-872-1300, Ext 20 or jsackett@njseagrant.org.
New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium presented awards to two students at the 54th Annual Monmouth Junior Science Symposium. The symposium took place March 17 and 18 at Monmouth University with the goal to promote research and experimentation in the sciences, engineering and mathematics at the high school level. Another important component is to recognize these students for outstanding achievement.
“I was highly impressed with the caliber of research and the motivation of these young scientists,” notes Claire Antonucci, executive director of New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium. It was an honor to recognize their hard work with these two awards.”
You can now register for two Boy Scout Individual Enrollment classes: Oceanography and Environmental Science. We offer these classes once in the fall and once in the spring. It is for individual scouts (not whole troops) who wish to study Oceanography or Environmental Science.
Marine Educators at Rutgers University, a member of the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium, will be working over the next three years to bring more opportunities to 6-9th grade students and teachers to interact with polar scientists and polar research through our National Science Foundation-funded program Polar ICE, or Interdisciplinary Coordinated Education.
Interested in getting involved in Polar ICE through one of the up coming opportunities for teacher professional development? Consider participating in the polar themed EARTH workshop that they will be hosting in New Brunswick from July 24-29.
