Student projects 2020-2021
A variety of high-quality projects for the Ocean Explorer and Citizen program
Designed for middle and high school classes, Le Dispositif Explorateur et citoyen des mers is supported by the Délégation Académique à l’éducation Artistique et Culturelle (DAAC ) de l’Académie de Nice, and developed and implemented in partnership with the Monaco Oceanographic Museum and Monaco Explorations.
The 2020-2021 school year saw 5 projects completed within this framework and despite the difficult conditions linked to the health situation.
Congratulations to all the teachers and students for the quality of their work and their commitment throughout the year!
You can see some of their work below in the form of image galleries.
See you next fall, and in the meantime, don’t forget to respond to our call for projects!

– Madame Brau’s 5th grade class at the Collège Rostand in Nice built their project around Herman Melville’s novel Moby Dick and the Sphyrna Odyssey mission (September 2019- March 2020), in the form of writing workshops.
A meeting at the school between the students and Professor Hervé Glotin, the mission’s Scientific Director, enabled them to confront their imaginations with the reality of scientific information.
