Discovery Science Center of Orange County

Discovery Science Center of Orange County in Santa Ana, California, will rehire and train essential staff to support an ocean-based field trip designed to bring students to the coast who could not otherwise have this experience. The project will offer 36 free field trips for Title I schools and directly benefit K–12 student populations that have all been disproportionately affected by learning loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including low-income ethnic or racial minority populations, immigrants, and students with mental or physical challenges and disabilities. Students will experience hands-on activities that will teach them to make real contributions to ongoing citizen science projects
