Collapse ▲In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, UNCW MarineQuest is now offering FREE VIRTUAL Turtle Trash Collectors programs funded by the NOAA Marine Debris Program (https://uncw.edu/marinequest/2tc.html)!
This program is designed to educate youth about the impacts of marine debris and encourage behavior changes to reduce the generation of marine debris in the future.
STUDENTS WILL:
- Virtually participate in a simulated sea turtle necropsy (animal dissection)
- See how trash in the ocean can impact sea turtles
- Learn how trash can get to the ocean
- AND learn how we can all help stop marine debris!
Students will also have a chance to become a Turtle Trash Collector and earn our digital turtle badges by collecting trash outside with the help of an adult. This is something families can do together to help us save the ocean, while also flattening the curve since they can practice social distancing while cleaning up their neighborhood. This badging program is open to anyone and I have attached a flyer with instructions on how to sign up!
Program details:
We will use a password protected Zoom meeting for our virtual program and students can connect with us from their homes via a computer, tablet, or smart phone. Please note that we have had great success with this model, even delivering a 2TC program to a teacher and students in Austria! For safety purposes, our staff will have video on, but all participants will have video and audio off, so no students will appear on screen. We will keep the program interactive using polling questions throughout and students can type questions at any time in the chat box. Please allow 1 hour for the program and questions. We recommend that you try a Zoom meeting with your students prior to our program. There is a free version of Zoom (https://zoom.us/) online.
To request a Virtual Turtle Trash Collectors program, please complete our program request form at: https://uncwyouthprograms.wufoo.com/forms/2tc-virtual-program-request/ Please note that this program was originally designed for 3rd to 5th grade students, but that we can adapt the program for other age groups.
