Los Angeles Maritime Institute, TopSail Youth Program
Join us for hands-on science experiments as we analyze local beach sand samples and albatross boluses, which show the impacts of microplastics on the environment. We'll also have our popular STEM trivia, coloring sheets and sea creature origami!
Los Angeles Maritime Institute
For more than 30 years, young people have had the opportunity to directly benefit from hands-on learning experiences through the Los Angeles Maritime Institute's programs that use sail training to help them develop team building, problem-solving, decision-making, planning, self-reliance and leadership skills. We give real-life context to subjects like science, mathematics, engineering, history and literature, and we raise awareness about the environmental impacts to our oceans and local waters through our TopSail Youth Program, TopSail STEM Program, summer camp, bilingual sails, public sails and more.
