Sea Perch In The Workplace

The Sea Perch experience can be greatly enhanced by allowing students to see real Ocean Engineers and Naval Architects in action. Field trips to ship yards and research institutions, classroom appearances or lectures by engineers and scientists, and visits to related events can bring alive the excitement of technology in the ocean. This page contains a working list of suggestions for field trips, site visits, lecturers, speakers, events, and other ideas for things you can do with your students to enhance your Sea Perch program.
