What is ExploraVision?The ExploraVision competition for K-12 students engages the next generation in real world problem solving with a strong emphasis on STEM. ExploraVision challenges students envision and communicate new technology 20 years in the future through collaborative brainstorming and research of current science and technology. ExploraVision is a science competition that goes beyond the typical student science competition and into what it takes to bring ideas to reality. A teacher will sponsor and lead his/her students as they work in groups of 2 – 4 to simulate real research and development. A teacher will guide his or her students as they pick a current technology, research it, envision what it might look like in 20 years, and describe the development steps, pros & cons, and obstacles. Past winners have envisioned technologies ranging from a hand-held food allergen detector to a new device to help people who have lost limbs regain movement in real time.

Interns are asked to learn along with the campers while acting as chaperones. Upon completion of the internship, educators receive a Certificate of Continuing Professional Education that acknowledges SBEC credit hours of science content earned. The number of hours varies between 7 and 32, depending on the program. Texas Environmental Education Advisory Committee (TEEAC) recognition is also available. Interns may apply for a maximum of 2 sessions per summer. More than 2 sessions require previous Sea Camp counselor experience and approval from the Sea Camp Director. The following Sea Camps are available for 2017 internships: Adventures in Marine Biology • Coral, Crabs, and Cephalopods • Sharks and More • Coastal Ecology • Advanced Coastal Ecology • Fishing Camp • Marine Mammal Workshop •Hill Country Camping • Ocean Careers Awareness • Coastal Photography • Oceanography and Nautical Archaeology • Biology of the Sea Turtle * Ecotourism in Costa Rica is available for educators at a discounted price ($1,900). Only 2 spots are available. A $700 deposit is required. Please e-mail Daisy if you are interested at [email protected] Talented and Gifted (TAG) is a Sea Camp for high-ability students ages 14-18.
