Inspiring “Tomorrow” to Care for the Lowcountry: This environmental education experience inspires and challenges students to take action and spread the word. Teachers pick the program that best suits their students, from subjects affiliated to regional environment – shorebirds, sea turtles, dolphins, or horseshoe crabs. Each theme includes an introduction activity to be led by the teacher in the classroom, followed by an education program presented by the Coastal Discovery Museum, and a hands-on classroom project for students. Projects are used throughout the community to promote environmental awareness and passion for our natural resources, and some students’ projects will be displayed in our annual exhibition (July/August 2021).
