SIMRS Build-A-Whale Presentation
Join SIMRS Research & Education Director, Sydney Dixon, for a “hands-on” virtual Build-A-Whale presentation as part of the NAME-CaNOE 2021 Conference. Build-A-Whale is an interactive program that allows participants to assist in constructing the real skeleton of an offshore killer whale while learning about the biology, ecology, anatomy, evolution, and conservation of killer whales and other marine mammals. This presentation will give educators a sneak peak of the one-of-a-kind display and share some of the unique teaching tools and props SIMRS uses to engage audiences of all ages in ocean literacy.
