Science in Their Sights

The Girls in Ocean Engineering and Science (GOES) Institute brings a group of girls to WHOI during the summer before they begin sixth grade, as well as a teacher fellow funded by the National Science Foundation. The participants spend the week immersed in science and engineering activities, funded by an NSF grant to WHOI scientist and engineer Anna Michel.
