Then, we'll use a simple set of tools to shoot a professional video. You'll learn the basics of free apps and edit your own video. Finally, you'll ensure video accessibility and of course, share them online via social media!

NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration): NOAA Science Camp offers students an opportunity to dive into marine and atmospheric science with NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Who is NOAA, you may wonder? NOAA scientists study weather, climate, oceans and coasts, and fisheries and uses many marine and aviation tools to do their research. The work that NOAA does informs important policies to protect our coasts and ocean.  This workshop will introduce students to earth and ocean sciences through virtual and hands-on activities, emphasizing solutions to real-world problems. Students will also have the opportunity to interact with NOAA scientists to learn more about their research and pathways to related marine careers.
