Outreach Officers Program
The central goals of the Outreach Officers Program include the following:
- Providing teachers with an opportunity to participate in seagoing research experiences aboard the JOIDES Resolution, working side-by-side with scientists, using current state-of-the-art approaches to solve scientific problems of global interest, and gaining first-hand knowledge of the results of seagoing science expeditions.
- Translating scientific results into useful teaching resources, such as classroom curriculum materials.
- Disseminating these resources into classrooms across the country.
