Science at the Stadium
Science at the Stadium is an extension of the Ocean Discovery Zone program and is one ECOGIG's signature outreach activities. Science at the Stadium was initiated in Fall 2014 at the University of Georgia and has since expanded to include other institutions, including Florida State University and Pennsylvania State University.
Football is a passion for people around the country -- especially in the southeastern United States -- and a remarkable number of people fill our stadiums every Saturday in the fall. By presenting the Ocean Discovery Zone exhibit to football fans during long days of tailgating, we're able to reach people who might not otherwise seek out the information we can provide.
