Prior to the pandemic, Blue Scholars worked to develop a partnership with Breakthrough Miami (BTM) to offer on the water programming to their Summer 2020 scholars. Needless to say, in-person programs ceased but as of February, Blue Scholars began virtual "field trips" on Saturdays with Breakthrough Scholars. Since then, over 200-5th grade students have been served at each of the five BTM sites, and 50-60 more are scheduled to be served this month.
“I really loved the video. I think that the live interaction, even though we’re not live and interacting, was amazing! We appreciate everything that you all have done and all the hard work that goes into this.”
Blue Scholars is pleased to partner with BTM and looks forward to providing hands-on marine science education to their scholars on Biscayne Bay when it is safe and appropriate to do so. No doubt, everyone is equally excited!
