GulfQuest will offer a wide range of educational programs, workshops and events that expand on the maritime principles and information presented in the museum’s exhibits.

Programs will provide unique hands-on learning experiences for those interested in exploring maritime science, history and culture. There will be something for everyone!

For school groups, youth organizations and homeschoolers, GulfQuest will offer field trips, overnight camp-ins and special events. For individuals and families, GulfQuest will provide programs on weekends and holidays and during the summer. Educational events and competitions will appeal to colleges and universities. And teacher workshops will help educators incorporate hands-on learning techniques in their classrooms.

GulfQuest’s ultimate goal is to inspire youth to pursue educational opportunities and careers in maritime research and industries that are vital to the Gulf Coast.
