Experiential Learning Programs
CoastX‘s mission is to provide inclusive experiential learning programs for participants (middle school through adults) to explore the Seacoast’s marine environment in order to inspire innovative and entrepreneurial solutions and a workforce that can solve the challenges coastal communities face and protect and preserve coastal communities.
CoastX programs are designed so that participants gain practical experience by learning from industry partners through mentorships, apprenticeships, and workshops. CoastX will provide valuable hands-on learning experiences and exposure to cutting-edge marine-related technologies and careers with the aim of preparing participants for successful careers in high-growth or high-need industries as well as those industries and careers that are yet to be thought of.
By exposing CoastX participants to the necessary skills, knowledge, mind sets, and industry connections, CoastX strives to bridge the gap between education and workforce development through immersive experiences that ignite new passions and interests so that participants can realize future career and entrepreneurial opportunities.

Spore to Entrepreneur
The Spore to Entrepreneur Incubator program will engage students of all ages in activities to develop the knowledge and skills needed for ocean farming, sustainability and innovation. Students will engage with ocean farmers to learn about the cultivation of seaweed, mussels, and oyster aquacultures, how the species are being impacted by climate change, and why the cultivation of the species is vital to the health of the ocean and the Seacoast’s economy. Kelp and Ocean Farming are emerging fields of environmental and economic opportunity, especially for female farmers and entrepreneurs on the seacoasts of Maine and New Hampshire.

Harbor Environmental Survey
The State of the Harbor Underwater ROV Program is the first planned activity for middle, high school, and life-long learners. Students will explore the fascinating world beneath the waves by receiving ROV operation and training instruction to safely pilot and operate ROV sensors and tools. Participants will conduct underwater exploration missions in the marine environment, onboard a vessel and on the shoreline, to gather data on marine life, marine habitat, and marine debris using remotely operated vehicles, ocean mapping and surveying tools. CoastX emphasizes the importance of environmental conservation and education. Students will learn about the impact of human activities on the marine ecosystem and the ways in which ROVs can contribute to conservation. They will be encouraged to engage in projects such as underwater cleanups, monitoring endangered or invasive species, and documenting marine pollution. Plan is to charter licensed commercial boat for activities on the water.
PROGRAM STARTS AUGUST 16th.
