For Educators
The nature of the Deep-C Consortium provides rich opportunities for engagement with educators. Deep-C scientists are investigating the issues involved in understanding and protecting ecological communities in the Gulf of Mexico, and the opportunity to create models that make the interaction of the physical, chemical, and biological realms real. As a result, members of the Deep-C community collaborate regularly with members of the K-12 educational community -- conducting workshops, providing lesson plans and activities, and offering real-life research experiences for teachers (and students).
Some of Deep-C's opportunities and resources for educators include:
Deep-C research scientists are bringing research experiences into the classroom, giving hands-on demos and presentations on the science being conducted in the Gulf of Mexico.
Training provides educators with tools to teach marine science using Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). The teacher program is tied to an annual student competition.
Hands-on research experiences for K-12 educators. Deep-C internships pair teachers with mentors. Internships vary in focus and duration based upon the needs of participating scientists.
