Inspire Young People to Become Champions of the Ocean! Awesome Animals is an 8-lesson, interactive multimedia program, designed to keep all types of learners engaged and motivated to become environmental champions and defenders of the sea! Our team of biologists and educators capture the attention of students through videos; students then apply their knowledge via problem-based learning, expressing their ocean knowledge in creative ways by making comics, postcards and short stories. Learners are inspired to develop critical thinking skills with at-home experiments and challenges. Students are able to connect what they have learned with the world around them.
