Ocean science education is central to the mission of the ISC. To inspire the next generation of ocean explorers, the ISC provides behind-the-scenes tours, camps, and conducts educational programs for students, educators, and the public. ISC scientists and staff lead all programs. The ISC also facilitates live communications between vessels at sea and classrooms and informal education institutions around the globe.
Please sign up for the ISC newsletter to receive details on all educational programs, camp dates, and other information once available.
