What happened?
15 teachers and educators from across the Great Lakes spent a week aboard the US EPA R/V Lake Guardian on Lake Ontario from July 6-12, 2023.
This Shipboard Science Immersion, a program facilitated by Great Lakes Sea Grant Network educators through a partnership with the US EPA Great Lakes National Program Office, brings educators and researchers together aboard the US EPA R/V Lake Guardian for a full week each year on one of the Great Lakes. The workshop rotates to a different Great Lake every year and is designed to promote Great Lakes sciences while forging lasting relationships between Great Lakes researchers and educators.
Funding was provided by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative through the Center for Great Lakes Literacy.
Past participants have described the experience as a “once-in-a-lifetime, professional learning opportunity.”
