About
Goals
MSE aims to create and curate educational resources in marine science for K-12 learners and their families. Content is organized by topic and type to include: free online resources, NGSS correlation, curriculum reviews, live web-based classes and self-paced courses.
Content
We believe that learning should be engaging, interactive, and fun. That's why we have developed a unique approach to education that combines traditional teaching methods with engaging educational technology. Our courses are designed to be interactive, hands-on, and tailored to the needs of each individual student.
