In this video series called Navigating STEM, we’re sharing how our staff navigated the waves on the way to a career at MBARI—and where they’re going from here.
MBARI Summer Internship Program Supplemental Application Information
This page provides some supplemental application information for the MBARI Internship program.
Science at home: Curriculum and resources
MBARI has gathered some educational resources that may be useful to parents and students while sheltering in place.
Adopt-A-Float Program
This program creates a powerful opportunity for elementary- and secondary-school-aged students to engage directly with world-class scientists and learn about their research by naming and tracking biogeochemical floats.
Education and Research: Testing Hypotheses (EARTH)
EARTH uses near-real-time data from ocean observatories and other researcher datasets to design and test outreach with the Internet as an interface to scientists, teachers, students, and the public. Workshops are held during the summer and interested educators are asked to trial an existing EARTH activity and complete a rubric as part of the application.
Seminars
MBARI seminars are usually held on Wednesdays (unless indicated otherwise) at 11:00 a.m. in the Pacific Forum and are open to the public. The seminars cover a wide range of topics related to deep-ocean research and engineering. Our speakers include top scientists and engineers from all over the world, as well as from MBARI.
Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education (C-MORE) Science Kits
C-MORE science kits offer lesson plans and materials for hands-on science activities in a self-contained format. They are designed for use with a range of grade levels. Each kit provides the information and supplies necessary for educators to teach their students about a particular topic in oceanography. These easy to use kits are a great resource for any classroom. These kits can be borrowed for short periods of time – you are responsible for arranging both pickup and drop-off of the kits.

About MBARI
Research programs at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) encompass the entire ocean, from the surface waters to the deep seafloor, and from the coastal zone to the open sea. The need to understand the ocean in all its complexity and variability drives MBARI's research and development efforts.
