The middle school program is run by the exceptionally talented ecologist and equally passionate educator, Susan Bryant. Part artist, part scientist, all humanist, and a great leader of middle school students, Susan engages her young scientists in understanding our harbor’s environmental assets — salt marshes, eelgrass beds, shellfish beds, dunes & barrier beach, — and the underwater diversity, serenity, and aesthetics of the ecosystems surrounding us.
Students who participate in our Middle School program will:
- Gain a better understanding of the delicate balance between our fragile ecosystem and human interaction with the ecosystem
- Learn valuable skills in scientific observation, data collection, and environmental stewardship
- Maintain their curiosity, joy of learning, and team up with new friends
Middle School students may be invited to help the Varsity Research teams with their research, or to join in additional expeditions beyond our regular middle school slots. So keep an eye on the email you used to register.
Scistah’s — Science Star Sisters: In summer 2023, Susan led four Friday sessions uniquely designed for girls and women in the sciences. They were highly successful experiences for those involved, so we’re pleased to run the Scistah’s program again this summer.
