The Massachusetts Marine Educators (MME) have been hosting these events since 1984, and the Northeastern University Marine Science Center has been co-hosting since 2013. We also thank Suffolk University, Framingham State University, UMASS Dartmouth and Salem State University for their partnerships in past years.

Each year these events attract hundreds of high schoolers and their teachers who come together to learn about research and gain practice around marine science topics and issues.

This conference-style event features a keynote speaker, an ocean science demonstration fair, and hands-on workshops led by scientists, policymakers, graduate students, and others engaged in marine-related careers.

A number of scholarships to attend the conference are available to schools and students, thanks to the generosity of our MME members.
