Explorers Outreach in Schools
The Explorers Education Programme offers a range of marine themed modules for primary school students and teachers in the classroom, through blended learning as well as out-door education. We also provide schools with the opportunity to take part in a school project where teachers have an opportunity to enter their school into a collaborative school project.
Check out our modules below for more information including marine projects, seashores safaris, aquariums in the class, and taking part in a number of exciting marine workshops.
For further information about online support and blended learning, please see our Explorers Education Programme Contacts to find an outreach centre in your area or contact our Explorers Support services team:
