To achieve this, we offer summer academic enrichment programs and school programs for all ages, from pre-school through pre-college, with UNCW research-based curriculum and activities designed to make the learning process fun and engaging. Whether students experience MarineQuest through research dives, exploring the marsh or making a scientific discovery in the lab, they’ll be making waves in environmental science.
