Sailor Science in Action!
Our students do amazing things...
Virtual Reality in the Classroom
Two teams of SHS science teachers were awarded classroom sets of interactive Virtual Reality headsets. Students at SHS will be able immerse themselves in environments from around the world, get in depth looks at the microscopic world, and even bring their field experiences back to the classroom. View the video on the left to see these devices in action!
Dr. Megan Ehlers featured in Politico series!
SHS Marine Science teacher and director of the Carefree Learner 'floating research classroom,' Dr. Megan Ehlers, was featured in a national Politico series on women changing the world with STEM. We are extremely lucky to have Dr. Ehlers as faculty at SHS, as she provides inspiration and top-notch education to her students. You can see the Politico feature here!
