<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Full day session for girls entering grades 7-9 (fall 2018). In this week of hands-on activities, young women will receive inspiration and support as they meet women scientists who
will describe their career paths and projects. Students will conduct field research alongside WBNERR staff and visiting scientists, and use a variety of instruments and technologies to gather and record data from the marshes, fields, forests, and waters of
Waquoit Bay Reserve. A highlight of this session will be the boat trip to Washburn Island and overnight on Reserve property, where the students will leave their cell phones behind as they explore local ecology and hike the trails. An afternoon lesson on shell
fishing and an evening campfire will round out the day and set the stage for them to spend the night with their teachers and classmates. The session is sure to provide plenty of fun, build confidence, and offer a look at potential careers in science, technology,
and engineering.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Half day sessions for students entering grades 2-3 (fall 2018). Children will get wet, muddy, and inspired while exploring the habitats and wildlife around Waquoit Bay through games, crafts, and basic scientific investigations. They will learn to identify and
observe living and non-living elements of nearby woods, fields, marshes, and waters of the bay, make and record observations, use instruments to record environmental conditions, and learn about the fragile nature of these environments. Children will learn
about local plants and wildlife, and practice “collect, observe, and release” procedures to help them become responsible estuary stewards.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Full day session for students entering grades 9-12 (fall 2018) Do you love science, technology, and figuring out how things work? Join a small team of students spending a week in the field while conducting environmental monitoring projects with Waquoit Bay
Reserve scientists. Students will discover the latest technologies used locally to study climate change and sea level rise, monitor wildlife and examine plant communities, and look for ways to solve environmental issues while socializing with other teens and
developing questions to investigate. Participation in this session may help determine a career path or boost a college application. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
