Come join the National Marine Educators for a whale of a share-a-thon. Formal and informal
marine science educators from aquariums, federal agencies, research facilities, and classrooms
will share activities and programs. Come for the activities, stay for the fun, learn about our
organization. Presenters will offer “make and take” activities, lesson ideas, and available
programs in the marine sciences. Free posters, CDs, and other marine-related items! This
share-a-thon will be followed by a whole day of sessions focusing on marine science.
