What a week! O-STEAM fellows captured their experiences and inspiration as STEAM students in amazing presentations today. We wish them well in pursuing their unique paths ahead! @SeaGrant @SEA_Woods_Hole #SeaGrantSTEM #stemeducation
O-STEAM fellows towed their hydrophones around Popponesset Bay, explored #Waquoit Bay NERR, stopped for ice cream, worked on their data and learned some traditional ecological knowledge from @MWTribe. Such busy bees! 🐝😮💨 @SeaGrant @SEA_Woods_Hole #SeaGrantSTEM #stemeducation
O-STEAM fellows put the hydrophones they built to the test, first in a tank on WHOI’s campus and then at the beach. They’re built using simple directions you can find online here: https://ow.ly/Zzv950PwJYO Give it a go! @SeaGrant @SEA_Woods_Hole @WHOI #SeaGrantSTEM #stemeducation
Three huge, female humpback whales stole the show when they came together to rest and dive. We heard their powerful exhales before we saw them. The O-STEAM fellows also deployed a soundtrap to capture the sounds of the sea. @SeaGrant @SEA_Woods_Hole #SeaGrantSTEM #stemeducation
O-STEAM fellows learned about @WHOI biologist Laela Sayigh's research into dolphin sounds and will contribute to her research this week. They met #womeninSTEAM to learn about ocean careers. Who will our fellows aspire to be? @SeaGrant @SEA_Woods_Hole #SeaGrantSTEM #stemeducation
#O-STEAM fellows took to the water, trying oceanographic sampling techniques and deploying a soundtrap. They also met engineers @WHOI to learn how they analyze sound underwater and built their own hydrophones! @SeaGrant @SEA_Woods_Hole #SeaGrantSTEM #stemeducation #womeninstem
Ocean STEAM Powered Women Fellows arrived today for their weeklong fellowship exploring career pathways in the #marinesciences. Get ready for an #O-STEAM takeover this week! @WHOISeaGrant @SeaGrant @SEA_Woods_Hole #massmarineeducators #SeaGrantSTEM #stemeducation #womeninstem

Falmouth Elem 1st graders kicked off their winter term w/ a lesson on marine mammals & their habitats from WHOI Sea Grant educator Grace Simpkins. They held baleen & learned how it's used to scoop up small energy-packed crustaceans. @Falmouth_Learns #SeaGrantSTEM
Ever wonder why some whales sing? In Feb. WHOI Sea Grant educator Grace Simpkins visited all 15 6th grade classes at @BarnstableBIS to talk about marine mammals and their acoustic habitats. By June, she will have met 2,000 classroom students! #STEAM #SeaGrantSTEM
