May News


We’re right in the middle of our busy spring season (see photos below). Once again, Kenmore East HS (Buffalo) spent the day here and finished with their traditional Pizza Party at our office. We will also have schools from Long Island, Albany NY, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Trips include our oceanographic and marine biological scientific cruise, behind the scenes tours of some of the laboratory facilities and docks. Students also spend time with our two Interactive Topographic Modeling Systems (Augmented Reality Sandboxes). Schools can also arrange with the Woods Hole Science Aquarium and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s Exhibit Center to visit those venues.
