Junior Scientist Maker Program

The Junior Scientist Maker Program is a five-part, standards-aligned program whereby students watch a short animation from The Paper Girls Show and participate in hands-on, inquiry-based science activities created by the Center for Inquiry Based Learning. At the end of the program, students embark in a real-world science project by using the Marine Debris Tracker application to track pollutants in their own communities.
