WHEN SCIENTIST GO UNDER THE WATERResearchers at School
The Objectives of the Activities
The objectives of the Researchers At School activities are to accomplish 140 school visits demonstrating to the students that:
- Scientific career in underwater science and technologies is accessible regardless of gender and ethnicity by giving examples from each researcher own short success story;
- Oceans and inland waters and their conservation is critical to human existence;
- Oceans are still waiting to be explored;
- Innovation and economic potential of underwater technologies are important for Europe;
- Underwater research is exciting and highly interdisciplinary;
- The European Union has a leading role in promoting science and science education.
The school visits are divided into geographical groups, namely seven groups: Marmara, South Eastern Anatolia, Mediterranean, Aegean, Black Sea, Central Anatolia and East Anatolia. The order of visits are optimised in terms of logistics, school terms and seasonal meteorological conditions. In principle, events will be organized in such a way that to provide the integrity of the topics. The topics will be presented with the relevant researchers respectfully. The topics are:
- How deep are the oceans?
- How deep we can dive?
- Underwater Cultural Heritage in inland waters
- Robots helping archaeologists
- Underwater Cultural Heritage in the Mediterranean Sea
- Going fast working safe
- Treasures of the sea
- How to find treasures underwater?
- Life in the lakes
- Do it yourself kits to protect the oceans
- How many fishes can I count?
- How can we help scientists to protect the life in the oceans and lakes
- Invaders of the sea
- Marine Citizen Science
- Is it getting warmer?
- How to make a PAPERFISH
- Oceans don’t mix up
- Writing and communicating underwater
- How did I started diving?
- Career paths for Scientific Diving
The dates of the events will be coordinated with respect to the SCIENCEinBLUE Project's Regional Organisation Committees.
Preparations of the presentation materials will be performed by the Lead Partner Bogazici International Research Center. All the presentation materials will be prepared before the events.
They will be submitted to AB for approval and feedback. The presentation materials will be revised during the project especially based on the implications from QA and impact assessment reports.
Especially in all activities conducted with students and in all presentation content, we will refrain from using masculine language and instead use egalitarian language.
