Marine Biology Summer Program in New Brunswick, Canada

Huntsman Marine Science Centre, New Brunswick:
The Huntsman Marine Science Centre is located in the historic resort community of St. Andrews by-the-Sea, New Brunswick, Canada. We have been providing insightful, hands-on marine science programs to students of all ages since 1969. We offer, Ocean STEAM™, a program for High School students, ages 15-18, focused on career exploration in the Ocean Economy.

A glimpse of a few Ocean STEAM™ courses:

• Introduction to Marine Biodiversity - Come and explore the Bay of Fundy seashores with students who share your interest in marine life. This hands-on field course will introduce participants to the creatures hiding under the rocks, beneath the seaweed, in the mud, and in the water column. What you collect is what you will study back in the lab. The first part of the course will concentrate on collecting, observing, identifying and classifying diversity of local invertebrates and taking environmental measurements. The second part of the course will ask students to pull the basic information together to get a better understanding of which animals live where and why.

• Marine & Freshwater Environmental Sampling Methods - This hands-on field course will introduce students to the methods that scientists use to study marine and freshwater ecosystems. Students will gain practical experience in a variety of sampling techniques and learn how to document and interpret their findings.

• Exploring Engineering Design for Ocean Applications - This hands-on course will introduce students to the tools they need to understand mechanical movement by focusing on the foundations of simple machines, physics, and engineering design with direct application to ocean industries. Activities will engage students to engineering fields in a fun and interactive style, allowing them to design and innovate with their newly acquired engineering principles.
