Set at the UGA Marine Learning Center as well as Fish Tank on Skidaway Island, the camping ground gave trainees hands-on tasks as well as exterior instructional expertises, where they evaluated actual information gathered by NASA scientists and learnt more about community adaptations to flooding. Pupils socialized along with specialists coming from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, UGA, and also Georgia Technician, gaining understandings in to satellite observations, green framework, ecological sensors, and jobs related to mean sea level surge. The camp also included a browse through to the Identify Ancestry Gallery, where students involved along with innovators from the historic Gullah Geechee area of Point. The camping ground determined along with a cruise to Wassaw Isle, where students noted the results of mean sea level growth on a pristine obstacle isle and matched up these observations with earlier results coming from urban atmospheres. Backing from the NASA's Science Account activation Plan as well as its own Water Level Learning, Recognition, and also Proficiency (SEAL) team made certain that the camping ground was accessible to all pupils, getting rid of monetary barriers for groups commonly underrepresented in stalk learning.
