30 April 2011: McLane hosted a group from the Massachusetts Marine Educators (MME) at our facilities. MME is a grass roots organization of teachers, informal educators, students, and institutions. The group promotes the awareness of the ocean world by integrating marine studies into existing curricula. MME convened its 35th annual meeting and conference at Woods Hole, and McLane was privileged to speak with the teachers in the front lines of science education.
After a presentation and a lively conversation, the group toured the McLane facilities, which included our 15m test tank, our flotation manufacturing area, and the ESP lab.
If you have an education project in which McLane may help, please let us know. We’re eager to host students and teachers at our facilities. Please contact us for more information.
