Discovery Hall Programs will partner with two, motivated high school science teachers and their students at underserved, Title I schools in Mobile County. Students will participate in a newly developed environmental ambassadors program to learn about local environmental issues and act as environmental engagement advocates for their communities. Activities will include presentations by DISL educators, content experts, and community leaders. Students will test water quality, tour a local wastewater treatment facility, and visit the Dauphin Island Sea Lab to explore coastal habitats and associated environmental threats. The program will culminate with groups of students developing community action plans and/or implementing programs on campus to address environmental issues. The students will present these plans to teachers, their families, and community leaders at a luncheon or dinner reception celebrating their accomplishments.
