DEEP is a special 8th Grade interdisciplinary project that combines Math, Science, and Technology. DEEP teachers are Ms. Plant, Mr. Capone, and Mrs. Davis. Other faculty, such as Ms. Wrenn, Mrs. De Leon, Ms Ryan, Ms. Bradley, and Mrs. Gaskill, support the program as well. Most DEEP faculty add this program on top of their regular teaching duties.
The students work solo or with a partner to complete one of several research projects in either scientific method, awareness campaign, or engineering tracks. Students design and create websites to document their work and publish their findings.
DEEP students have built underwater robots, created echo-location devices, and studied the aspects of ocean acidification and aquatic ecosystem resilience. DEEP alumni have published their research in scientific peer-reviewed journals, pursued careers and advanced degrees in science and engineering, and many have dedicated their lives to the protection of the ocean and earth’s natural resources.
DEEP began in 1994, and hundreds of students have posted their work on DEEP websites.
