Life Beyond Light: Chemosynthetic Communities of the Deep Ocean Educator Professional Development

Saturday, April 12, 2025

A group of women scientists and ocean floor sealife

Educators of grades 6-12 are invited to join a full-day, in-person professional development workshop at a NOAA Ocean Exploration Education Alliance Partner near you. Together we will explore hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, two deep-sea ecosystems with dense biological communities fueled by chemosynthesis.

This workshop will include:

  • An introduction to NOAA Ocean Exploration and why and how we explore the ocean
  • Several phenomena-based student investigations and hands-on activities
  • Reflection and discussion with peer educators
  • A guided tour of additional free, online ocean education resources

Registration for the Life beyond Light workshops is required and space is limited. Participants will receive classroom-ready resources including student investigations, videos, and fact sheets, along with a  Certificate of Participation and a $100 stipend.
