Ask the Ocean instead!

Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium is excited to offer a unique educational opportunity for students through our Ask the Ocean™ program. This virtual program allows students to engage directly with marine experts via interactive video sessions. Students can ask questions about marine careers, marine biology, and other ocean-related topics.

To ensure the safety and privacy of all participants, we require parental or guardian permission for students under the age of 18. Parents and guardians are welcome to participate with their child during this session.

Meet with real scientist at a working marine science facility

Each WISE program puts learners inside one of four active research and conservation labs at the Mote Science Education Aquarium. Investigate real work alongside scientists, ask questions, and connect classroom science to careers.

See real science in action

Live camera views take students inside veterinary clinics, coral restoration labs, aquaculture systems, and aquarium operations. This is not a recorded tour or simulation. Meet the people who do this work. Every session includes direct conversation with a working Mote scientist or professional, giving students a realistic look at what these careers actually involve.

Save time on lesson prep

Each program includes standards alignment, vocabulary, suggested discussion questions, and educator resources that are ready to use before, during, and after the session.
