The Oregon Sea Grant Marine Education Program will be hosting several exciting, hands-on homeschool programs at Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon this Fall.
Each program includes two date options and age-specific tracks.
Marine Mammals - September 25 and 26
Join us for a marvelous exploration of magnificent marine mammals! Classes will investigate the unique feeding, communication, navigation, and survival strategies of these charismatic and majestic critters that call the ocean home.
Web of Life - October 17 and 20
Dive into the fascinating world of marine food webs! Students will explore the intricate relationships between ocean organisms as we journey through trophic levels—from microscopic plankton to apex predators. Through hands-on activities, games, and real-world observations, students will gain a deeper understanding of how each species relies on and impacts the others in this dynamic web of life.
Family-friendly tracks will be for participants with predominantly younger children (ages 4 to 10) and mixed aged children (ages 8 to 12) and parents and children participate in classes as a family unit. NEW THIS FALL - students that are 12 to 18 years may participate in the students only track where adult supervision is not required.
Please review all logistics and registration tips on our website prior to submitting your registration. We look forward to hosting you and your family this fall!
Programs will be held in-person at Hatfield Marine Science Center from 10 am - 3:30 pm and parking is available in our visitor center parking lot.
Cost is $25 per person (adults and children ages 4 and above) and fees are paid at the time of registration. Children below 4 years of age are free.
Each event includes 3 hours of hands-on STEM-themed activities, a break for lunch, craft time, and visitor center exploration.
