Every year we offer Illinois and Indiana K-12 formal and non-formal educator professional learning opportunities as well as stipend support for stewardship projects that extend Great Lakes learning and stewardship to students through place-based learning experiences. Stay tuned for upcoming opportunities.

Shipboard Science Workshop

What are you doing this summer? Fifteen educators will be spending July 7-13 alongside scientists aboard the EPA R/V Lake Guardian on Lake Michigan. The Shipboard Science Workshop takes place each year on one of the Great Lakes—2025 is Lake Michigan’s turn. The goal of this workshop is to promote Great Lakes sciences while forging relationships between researchers and educators. It is sponsored by the EPA Great Lakes National Program Office and facilitated by Great Lakes Sea Grant Network educators.
 
Application information can be found on the Center for Great Lakes Literacy website. If you would like to learn more about previous workshops, visit:
