Announcing 2010-2011 Goldfish Training Contest Winner |
|
|
|
 Can a goldfish be trained to swim through a hoop or dance to music? We asked kids between the ages of 10 and 14 to find out during our second annual Goldfish Training Contest. The contest was designed to give kids a taste of animal training. First, participants got training tips from our Beluga University online game and the Beluga Basic Training activity. They used the skills they learned to train a goldfish to do something interesting. Then they filmed the training process and outcome and submitted their videos online. We selected one grand-prize winner to receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Mystic Aquarium to work closely with the Aquarium's beluga whales and professional trainers for a day. We would like to offer a big congratulations to this year's winner, 11-year-old Whitney Thompson from the Boys & Girls Club of Burlington, Vermont. You can view her winning video here. Way to go, Whitney!

Calling all artists! Kids in grades K-12 are invited to participate in an international art contest sponsored by Immersion Learning, The JASON Project, the North American Marine Environmental Protection Association (NAMEPA), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The theme of the contest is “Marine Debris.” Marine debris is any human-made waste that has ended up in a lake, sea, ocean, or other waterway either by accident or on purpose. Examples include plastic bags, glass bottles, old fishing equipment, and abandoned boats. To learn more about marine debris, visit water.epa.gov/type/oceb/marinedebris. Contest submissions should focus on the types, sources, and/or impacts of marine debris on the environment. The deadline for entries is May 15, 2011, and winners will be announced by May 21.
