Is your gifted child passionate about the environment and marine life? Fuel those passions by signing them up for Ocean Crisis: Let’s Clean Up Our Act at SIG!
It’s no secret that water pollution is a major global issue, and marine scientists estimate that over 8 million tons of plastic are dumped into the ocean each year. However, gifted youth of today have the opportunity to fight back in a big way. During this course, students look at this large-scale problem on a smaller, more personal level by examining how their own communities are (or aren’t) cleaning up their acts. Finally, they’ll act as leaders by researching ways that both they as individuals, and their communities as a whole, can help solve this crisis.
