Applications Being Accepted for 2025 Sea Grant Shipboard Science Workshop
Aboard the U.S. EPA R/V Lake Guardian, on Lake Michigan
(HARRISBURG, PA) — Formal and nonformal 5-12th grade educators from Great Lakes’ states are invited to apply for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend a week aboard a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency research vessel alongside scientists and to bring the Great Lakes back to their classrooms. The workshop, organized by the Center for Great Lakes Literacy (CGLL), is July 7-13, 2025. Deadline for applications is Feb. 10, 2025.
Through a partnership with the EPA Great Lakes National Program Office and NOAA, and funding from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, educators will engage in scientific research aboard the ship. Hosts for the Lake Michigan workshop are CGLL partners Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant and Wisconsin Sea Grant.
The annual Shipboard Science Workshops promote Great Lakes science while forging lasting relationships between Great Lakes researchers and educators. CGLL is a collaborative effort led by Sea Grant educators throughout the Great Lakes watershed in the U.S. CGLL fosters informed and responsible decisions that advance basin-wide stewardship by providing hands-on experiences, educational resources, and networking opportunities promoting Great Lakes literacy among an engaged community of educators, scientists, and youth.
