The federal Project Grant award, with ID NA25NMFX008G0002, was provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the NOAA Mission-Related Education Awards program (CFDA 11.008). The $327,242 award will enable The Artist Boat, Inc., a non-profit organization in Galveston, Texas, to deliver the following key products and services over the period of January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2026: Provide 32 hours of professional development to 15 teachers in three low-income, majority-minority school districts to enhance student climate literacy, student-led decision-making, and student-determined climate action projects. Offer 25 classes of students (625 students) an 8-hour eco-art adventure to the Coastal Heritage Preserve and a student-selected climate field adventure. Conduct a series of 17 hours of workshops in eco-art, carbon footprint assessment, blue carbon, and the creation of student-selected driving questions and climate action projects. The project aims to encourage underserved students to see themselves as scientists, creators, and problem-solvers by engaging them in meaningful watershed educational experiences and supporting their self-directed climate action projects.
