Science doesn’t stop in Maine. Our partners have a number of public science events coming up in May. See what’s happening near you and remember that #scienceiseverywhere.
BLOOM Educators’ Program – Professional Development for Educators. Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences is expanding the reach of the Keller BLOOM Program by offering professional development workshops for Maine high school science teachers interested in collaborating with Bigelow Laboratory scientists to enhance ocean science education in the state. These four-day summer workshops, led by Dr. David Fields and Dr. Nicole Poulton, provide teachers with training, tools and hands-on research experience so that they are better equipped to teach ocean science in their classrooms. Maximum number of participants is 10.
