The Estuarium offers extensive educational programming and a variety of estuary and marine ecology topics for Pre-K through 12th grade students. Their programs offer students unique hands-on activities and are linked to the STEM standards, Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and Ocean Literacy Frameworks. The Foundation’s grant will fund Conservation Kids (3rd Grade Experience), Bayshore Field STEM, and K-12 estuarine education field experiences, as well as South Sound GREEN’s Nearshore and GREEN Congress K-12 environmental programs that focus on water quality and the ramifications of water quality on the South Sound ecosystem.
