Our flagship program is the most comprehensive deep-dive into climate impact solutions working hand-and-hand with our community partners.
Our curriculum targets a component of an Environmental Impact Project, preparing students to participate in real world research and conservation. Students apply for a specific team, receive training and mentorship in that area of study, and work together in a multidisciplinary environment on a targeted solution.
All Teams Have A Final Deliverable
The Conservation Media Team will produce a micro-documentary about environmental projects, and the students working on solutions.
The Field Biologist Team will crowd source a project such as coral restoration or collect data to advance science. All the data collected is available as open science data on Aqualink.org.
The Impact Engineering Team will advance a component of marine tech. Projects include updating smart ocean buoys with low cost sensors or ROV based photogrammetry mapping. All the software and hardware development is available open source on GitHub.
