Our oceans connect communities, regulate our climate, support biodiversity and drive scientific discovery. They are also a powerful source of inspiration for STEM learning.

This World Ocean Day, we're celebrating the curiosity that ocean science sparks in learners of all ages. From marine ecosystems and ocean technologies to conservation and climate research, there are countless opportunities to explore the science of our oceans.

Lastly, I would like to introduce myself, Keah! I have been responsible for overseeing and managing the day to day operations of our outreach site this year! Since September, I have been lucky enough to interact and connect with numerous volunteers, educators and students through classroom sessions, on-campus events and rural trips! Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed to an amazing year of outreach so far 🩵🦭

Our very own Memorial University, St. John’s volunteer, Asha De Silva! 💚

“One of my most memorable moments was when a child recognized me in a public place and excitedly said, “You came to our class with Let’s Talk Science!” It was such a simple moment, but it truly moved me. Knowing that my visit left a lasting impression reminded me of the real impact outreach can have. It made me feel valued and encouraged me to stay engaged, knowing that what I do as a volunteer genuinely matters.” - Asha De Silva, Let's Talk Science Volunteer at Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's campus.
