Our Story
The SEA LAB is a Youth Powered Movement for a Greener Planet and Cleaner Ocean.
The SEA LAB is a youth-driven movement for a greener planet and cleaner ocean. This after-school program combines art, STEM mentorship, ocean exploration, and creative maker labs to engage and empower young learners, with support from the Rotary Club of Deerfield Beach.
Designed to reimagine environmental education, the Sea Lab Project provides youth with opportunities to address urgent environmental challenges, serving students across the nation’s sixth-largest school district, including those from Title I schools and underserved, frontline communities.
Using art and visual storytelling to communicate scientific ideas, participants build artist portfolios and craft narratives that are both scientifically accurate and artistically engaging. The program highlights the conservation of marine ecosystems and biodiversity, turning ocean trash into captivating art.
The SEA LAB is a unique initiative that fosters creativity, environmental awareness, and community engagement in South Florida.
Empowering youth, driving impact: Investing in underserved youth for meaningful change.
A program based in South Florida, home to the only coral reef system in the continental United States. Our goal is to open up a world of learning about our blue planet, providing hands-on experiences and exposure to the wonders of marine science via the power of art.
