ERNESTINA is a maritime paradigm in our AHOY! (art/history/oceans/youth) educational program

AHOY! educates youth in maritime culture by engaging them in experiential learning activities associated with basic maritime skills, tools, and vocabulary.  We worked with fifth graders in a pilot program designed to develop interest and foster skills and long-term goals.

DCR, collaborating with our AHOY! program, manages the Schooner Ernestina

 Our  Expo on June 12th in partnership with AHA! drew over 100 people to participate in Humans Bloomin' Kinetic Art--a Green Culture Event--by creating the Human Living Flower, an environmental art form based on the ancient art of the Geomorph.
Our AHOY! student display drew admiring responses from those who viewed the interpretations of art, history, and ocean through artwork.  Visitors enjoyed the board games created by the AHOY! students and  "Zap", the jellyfish game, was a hit!

Thank You, New Bedford Cultural Council, for empowering us to do more outreach and education for art. history. oceans. youth!  Their support of our EXPO made quality programming possible.
Our field trips to Maritime Museum and Aquarium were also made possible by PASS grants from the MCC/LCC.

MCC/LCC grant of $1,714 awarded for our Expo!
