Ocean Smart Schools Enquire Now Join us for an exciting live show at your school designed for students to dive into the fascinating world of marine science! Discover how abiotic factors—like temperature, pressure, light, and sound—shape life underwater and our climate. Plus, learn about technologies that support ocean sustainability. Ocean Smart Schools is more than a science show, it’s a powerful educational experience that strengthens young people’s connection to the ocean and their role in protecting it. By bringing the wonders of the sea into classrooms, we spark curiosity, build understanding, and empower students to see why a healthy ocean matters, not just to the planet, but to their own lives. This program gives children tools and inspiration to take positive action, nurturing the next generation of ocean-conscious leaders.
