Educators are invited to join NOAA Ocean Exploration's Education Team and the Waikiki Aquarium/HIMB in a live online professional development workshop and follow-up event to learn about the fascinating phenomenon of bioluminescence in deep-sea organisms. This three-part offering will consist of:
- A viewing of a short video with experts in bioluminescence research. Please view the video (to be sent to participants) prior to the live event!
- A 90-minute online event featuring a live, interactive question and answer session with a bioluminescence expert and an introduction and demonstration of relevant educational activities and resources. November 4, 1:30pm HST
- A 90-minute follow-up event hosted by the Waikiki Aquarium/HIMB providing participants with the opportunity to cooperatively discuss content shared during the November 4 event and explore additional resources. November 18, 3:30pm HST
Registration is required and space is limited. Educators will receive content for review prior to the event, links to specific activities and additional resources, a NOAA Ocean Exploration Certificate of Participation, and a $75 stipend. Registrants must participate in all three parts in order to receive the certificate and stipend.
Look for more professional development opportunities on additional topics in Spring 2022!
*Please note this registration page is for both the live event and the follow-up event. Tickets will only be generated for the live event; the Waikiki Aquarium/HIMB will be in direct contact with participants to provide additional information about the follow-up event.
