EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING

At SPLASh, we educate the next generation about marine debris and equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to become environmental stewards and make a difference in their own communities.

Our TEKS-aligned programming offers a variety of

interactive lessons for students to engage in real-world environmental issues and solutions. We work with teachers to tailor our program to specifically fit students' needs and learning goals. Ready to make a SPLASh in your classroom? Get in touch!
