[SEMCO] Summer STEM Program at Waquoit Bay Reserve for High School Students

[Muller, Joan (DCR)]

Summer STEM Program at Waquoit Bay Reserve for High School Students
TIDAL Quest or "Teens Investigating Diversity of Aquatic Life"  Quest is an exciting week-long program for high school aged students offered by the Waquoit Bay Reserve this summer. From July 22nd through July 26th, teens will assist scientists conducting environmental monitoring projects and discover what field work is all about. They will learn to use various types of scientific equipment and practice protocols for identifying marine life, monitoring rare birds, measuring water quality and analyzing data. Included in registration is a canoe trip in Waquoit Bay and a boat trip out to Washburn Island to collect marine specimens. Students will also learn about and visit the site of a groundbreaking research study focusing on sea level rise and how salt marshes store carbon. They will learn about science careers while working with Reserve staff on the beach, in the salt marsh and in the lab and will make connections with other teens that share their interests.

If you are, or know, a teen who is interested in science, likes to explore outdoors and wants to enhance their college application with a worthwhile experience then sign-up today. This program is sponsored by the Waquoit Bay Reserve Foundation. Space is limited and cost is $250 for the week. Half and full scholarships are available for motivated students needing them.
