The SciREN 2014 Workshop, sponsored by graduate students from Duke Marine Lab, UNC Institute of Marine Sciences, and the Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, was an evening for K-12 teachers and local marine scientists to interact in a relaxed environment.
CMAST was well represented with displays and activities by Dr. Vicky Thayer, Dr. Pat Curley and three marine science graduate students- Doreen McVeigh, Shannon Brown and Seth Thereurkauf who joined graduate students, scientists and coastal agencies to bring their research to life in NC classrooms by creating classroom-ready exercises to inspire the next generation of marine scientists.

The event allowed area scientists to enhance outreach and communication skills and make connections with over 100 K-12 Teachers who were able to obtain classroom-ready, marine science lessons based on NC Essential Standards.
