Third Graders of Stillmeadow Elementary School jumped right into solving science mysteries today. They used their knowledge of the Long Island Sound watershed to figure out the source of several water samples. Students cracked the code by taking the salinity of each water sample to determine if the water was fresh, brackish, or salty. What is brackish water you ask? The […]

The schooner SoundWaters (and Roger) said goodbye to its winter home at Norwalk Cove Marina and had a great transit across Long Island Sound to Stamford harbor this afternoon. We will continue training in Stamford and begin STEM education sails on April 15.
Springtime launches at SoundWaters when our 80-foot, three-masted Schooner awakens from its long winter hibernation in dry dock, shedding its protective covering of shrink wrap, donning its masts and poised for a full schedule of science education sails for schools, and daytime or evening sails for the public. In just a few weeks, Schooner SoundWaters educators will […]
Our fast-growing terrapins have acquired new, larger housing! Their new habitats are much more spacious, complete with rocks for basking and climbing. To accommodate their new homes, we rearranged their heat and sun lights into a new configuration, providing more direct light on their basking rocks. We hope to see another growth spurt now that […]

The first grant will help fund the Science Stars program for girls where we dive deep in to hands-on science and prove that it’s attitude, not aptitude that keep girls from entering STEM fields of […]
