Sow my Dream’s hands-on workshops to learn more about the oceans
On the programme:
- Creating a sensory map: an activity designed to illustrate and help participants better understand the biodiversity around them and the environmental issues at stake.
- Marine data collection: the pupils used simple protocols to analyse water quality, enabling them to gain an understanding of the work carried out by scientists.
- Discovering marine energy: through fun hands-on activities, the children learnt how marine energy can be converted into electricity. This workshop was led by Pauline, an activity leader at the Espace des sciences/Maison de la Mer.
These workshops also gave Yoann, skipper of the Sails of Change maxi-trimaran, the opportunity to demonstrate equipment such as the oceanographic sensor and the microplastic sampler, offering the pupils a practical insight into the methods used to study our marine environment, particularly in areas that are difficult to access.
These workshops play a key role in fostering young people’s interest in science and in protecting our planet.
