Teaching & Outreach

New! Since Fall 2020, we have been working in conjunction with the WHOI Broader Impacts Group to develop a partnership between WHOI and New Heights Charter School in Brockton, MA to connect 10th-grade Earth Science students to WHOI scientists, provide in-class lectures, lab tours, a mentorship program, and a summer internship program. Check our pilot "Ask-a-Scientist" program and stay tuned for a summary of our in-class outreach and summer internships that we've started up in 2021-22.
