Ocean Discovery is providing school-day programs, after-school camps, and leadership programs and we need science leaders, like you, to enhance the experience for our students.

Science Leaders are individuals working in science and science-related fields who guide and inspire others by influencing knowledge with their thinking and ideas (Forbes 2014). Their work may involve creating new technologies or doing scientific research, and communicating and teaching that research to others. Their ideas tend to be well thought-through, supported by data and analysis, and logical. Science leaders develop structures and frameworks that build knowledge about our world, help solve problems facing our planet, improve human lives, and make our world a better place. Science Leaders can come from a wide variety of science and science-related fields. A science or science-related career, as defined by the National Science Foundation (2015), is any position that is filled by a college graduate in a science or science-related field of study, including, but not limited to:

Computer and mathematical scientists
Biological, agricultural, and environmental life scientists
Physical scientists (e.g., physicists, chemists, geoscientists)
Social scientists (e.g., psychologists, economists, sociologists)
Engineers
Postsecondary teachers in science and science-related fields
Health care workers (e.g., physicians, audiologists, nurses)
Science and science-related managers (e.g., engineering managers, natural and social science managers)
Science and engineering pre-college teachers (e.g., science teachers, math teachers)
Technologists and technicians
Other science and science-related occupations (e.g., actuaries, architects)
