  • June 18 | Session 2: Buoyancy, ballast, and density while participants test their models to achieve neutral buoyancy. 
  • June 25 | Session 3: Play a game to learn about the challenges of ocean exploration. 
  • July 2 | Session 4: Using communication and design skills to create an ocean advocacy message based on what they have learned about during the program!
