WATER WORLD is a dynamic collaboration between Centrum and the Port Townsend Marine Science Center,

filled with activities and projects that expand and enhance elementary students’ experience of the marine world through the lenses of both science and art.  In collaboration with artists, scientists, and peers from across the state, students integrate scientific investigations with creative writing, movement, and visual art. The result is a multi-faceted, holistic learning experience.

Students work in small groups that rotate through activities in the field as well as in performance studios, museum and aquarium exhibits. Each day offers a mix of both scientific and artistic workshops. The group size is small to allow for maximum personal attention and minimum impact on fragile environments.

Evening programs include storytelling, activities at the Marine Science Center, and a student presentation on the final night, showcasing new learning about marine ecosystems and sharing artistic creations.
