Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE) Program

Friday, March 28, and Saturday, March 29 

Regis and Provincetown Rooms, Boston Marriott Copley Plaza  

Since 2002, the Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE) have worked to increase understanding of the ocean and its relevance to society. Primarily funded through the National Science Foundation, the COSEE network promotes partnerships between research scientists and educators, disseminates high-quality ocean sciences education resources, and promotes ocean science as a charismatic vehicle for learning at any age.

A short course, COSEE: Salting Away for our Future—Resources for Understanding the Ocean’s Role in Climate Change, is the first item on the COSEE program. This ticketed event will be held on Friday, 3:00–6:00 PM. On Saturday, March 29, 8:00 AM–5:30 PM, COSEE concurrent sessions will highlight activities and products designed for classroom science teachers. Session participants will come away with links to real-time data, relevant scientific resources, lesson plans, information on regional programs, and connections to a nationwide network of scientists and educators who are dedicated to improving ocean literacy.
