Conservation, Outreach, & Grant Writing with Carissa Cabrera

On today's episode I chatted with Carissa Cabrera on her new Ocean Connections curriculum for middle school students and we also chatted about grant writing and why it is such an important skill for this field! 

Carissa runs a business called The Conservationist Collective focused on conservation and education resources. Her new Ocean Connection's STEM curriculum is a part of that & a great way to get middle school students informed on the field and conservation initiatives.  Made possible with funding from National Geographic Society, Ocean Connections is a 5-day, hands-on climate curriculum made for adolescent students. Across 5 modules, students will be taught and take part in solving the challenges that face our ocean and the rest of the planet. Video lessons, accompanied by activities and discussions, allow students to play an active role in solutions while increasing ocean literacy. This curriculum is entirely free and can be taught and adapted by any teacher. Reach out to us directly if you're interested in getting Ocean Connections into your classroom.
