LEARN ·2024 Grants ChallengeRiver's End STEM Education Program
Algalita’s NEW River’s End STEM Education Program will provide one-day field research experiences for over 500 public middle/high school students in Los Angeles County. Taking place in Long Beach, CA at the end of the San Gabriel River, students will collect microplastics samples, test water quality, and trawl for plankton using Waterbikes. All samples collected in the field will be taken back to our research and learning center to be analyzed by the students alongside real researchers using state-of-the-art scientific equipment.
