The 2026 Shipboard Science Immersion will take place on Lake Superior from July 7-13, 2026. 15 educators from across the Great Lakes region, have been selected to participate.
Sea Grant's shipboard science immersion programs transform teachers into motivated Great Lakes educators. These annual workshops, which occur on a different Great Lake each year, are part of the Center for Great Lakes Literacy. Over the course of a week and fueled by dynamic partnerships and the wind (real or virtual) in their sails, Great Lakes educators work alongside scientists to get firsthand insight into Lake Superior science, research methods, and stewardship that they can bring back to their students.
The 2026 Lake Superior Shipboard Science Immersion is hosted by Sea Grant’s Center for Great Lakes Literacy partners Minnesota Sea Grant, Wisconsin Sea Grant and Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant, with support from the National Sea Grant College Program and NOAA through a partnership among NOAA, the EPA Great Lakes National Program Office and funding from the EPA Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
