SUMMARY:Day Camps at Mote SEA
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate summer with Mote Science Education Aquarium! From legends of the deep to ocean technology\, each day will be filled with fun STEM-based activities\, aquarium exploration\, and fun-filled memories! Sign up for one\, two\, or all days to learn about Mote research and the wonders of the ocean. \nMonday June 29 – Tales from the Deep \nOcean monsters\, myths and mysteries solved! Campers will learn about various historically reported sea “monsters” and the scientific truths behind the animals that were often misunderstood in these stories. \nTuesday June 30 – Ocean Wanderers \nOne drop of ocean water can contain millions of tiny organisms! Campers will explore the vast world of plankton\, learn about their unique and sometimes wacky adaptations\, and better understand their importance to our planet. \nWednesday July 1 – ArtSEA \nCelebrate the A in STEAM with ArtSEA! Campers will learn about the many ways art is used in science\, get inspired by our resident sea creatures\, and then create their own fin-tastic creations! \nThursday July 2 – Ocean Deep Dive \nSubmarines\, gliders and other submersibles allow scientists to study animals and ecosystems found deep below the surface. Campers will learn about Mote’s underwater robots and some of the fascinating discoveries they have made. \nFriday July 3 – School is Cool  \nSchools\, pods\, shoals and herds: just like classes and clubs at school\, ocean animals gather together to live and learn. Campers will explore the dynamic interactions in various kinds of animal groups and how they work together to thrive. \nRegister Now!

SUMMARY:Seas the Summer
DESCRIPTION:It’s time for some outdoor family fun!\nGet set for an O-FISH-ALLY awesome summer! Join us each week this summer to learn about ocean animals as we explore field techniques\, look for and catch critters in beautiful Sarasota Bay and get inspired to protect the ocean. Find out what to bring and wear here. Pre-registration is required. \nEvery Monday\, we will focus on a different animal that calls Sarasota Bay home before we wade into the Bay for a scientific investigation. Join us all summer for fun in the sun learning about the different animals that call Sarasota Bay home. Please note it is not guaranteed that we will see the animal the class is themed around but we will definitely see and catch lots of their neighbors and learn all about where they fit into the ecosystem. We hope to SEA you there!

SUMMARY:Earth Day Animal Spot-A-Thon
DESCRIPTION:Earth Day Animal Spot-A-Thon\, Do NASA Science LIVE! Join us in-person for this hybrid event to learn how to identify animals in trail-camera images and contribute to real wildlife conservation research. We will watch a short NASA Science LIVE! training stream\, then practice identifying animals using the computers at Mote SEA. Participants may also bring their own device and join from anywhere. \nWe will compare this Wisconsin-based trail camera project with our local dolphin spotter program to explore how community science supports research in different ecosystems. \nThis community science project uses a network of trail cameras to study wildlife across diverse habitats. By identifying animals and their behaviors in photos\, you help generate critical data used by scientists and land managers to understand ecosystems\, protect species\, and conserve natural resources now and in the future. \n\nUPDATED…Where: SEAside Conference Room (meet outside entrance at 10:45 am)\nWho: Jason Robertshaw\, endlessoceans@mote.org\, (941) 376-5375\nHow much: Free!\nRegister here!
