Projects
NEOSEC creates opportunities for professional development and implementing effective ocean science education through collaborative projects that incorporate ocean literacy. In this collaborative model, NEOSEC, with its robust and established network, is able to disseminate outreach resources around New England and beyond.
By tapping into the wealth of ocean education resources in the region, NEOSEC members, as project partners, offer access to expertise and resources, and are able to share resources amongst members effectively . Central support for evaluation, communications and grant management allows partners to focus on what they do best: providing meaningful educational experiences.
Current NEOSEC projects include:
- Get WET in New England- A region-wide program that trains K-12 teachers in watershed education. Funded by NOAA.
- Summer Science in New England- Establishing a new regional network of summer camp programs grounded in ocean science. Funded by NOAA.
- Ocean7- NEOSEC’s campaign to increase the level of Ocean Literacy in the New England region.
- Families By the Seaside: Building Community-Based Outdoor Ocean Science Learning Experiences – To create meaningful learning experiences for underserved/underrepresented (UU) families at informal science education centers (ISECs).Funded by NOAA.
