We had a great time at Project TEAM today! We were in the Gym (a little humid!) and had loads of fun sharing the ocean with these students! The kids were energized and ready to go when we started talking about all of the different creatures found in the ocean! The youngest kids all were oohing and ahhing as we went through sea stars and fish! Everyone enjoyed the sharks of course! And we ended on talks on how to help save the ocean! Great morning! We look forward to coming back during the school year!

Special thanks goes out to our volunteer Geoff for helping us out today! Great job!

Loved going out to Tucson Children’s Museum for their MONSOON MADNESS event! We set up our artifacts and ran little presentations all night! And we had lots of fun with the PENGUIN PARENT activity where kids got to see if they cut manage to walk with an egg on their feet just like our little feathery friends! What a blast!

The Museum said it had twice as many people come through for our night  so we are going to call it a total success! Of course, having our name in the Sunday paper probably helped but we think it had more to do with the love of the ocean!

Big thanks to our volunteers for the night! Adrian, Caroline, Jesse, and Jan! Way to go!

We had the chance to share our love of the ocean with the students at Schumaker’s summer program! With the help of our summer intern Michael, we presented to the kids (ages 5-9) and had a great time! It was a smaller group, so all the kids had a lot of time to really explore the artifacts and ask great questions! One student in particular really loved sharks and asked lots of really good questions! Luckily, we were able to answer them all

Had a wonderful presentation this morning at Santa Clara Elementary School summer program! It was so much fun! Lots of 5, 6, and 7 year olds! The group is overseen by a collection of teachers from around the district! the kids had lots of energy but they focused it on learning! We went for almost an hour and a half! It sounds like a lot of the teachers will be having us come out next year to their classrooms across theSUNNYSIDE school distr
