ART CLASSES

This year we are excited to announce two underwater ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle) programs available to students. Each student will have a chance to design their own ROV and take pictures and video of underwater habitats. The students will get a chance to share their findings with other students and compare underwater habitats in more than one region. ROVs will be tested in fresh water, salt water habitats and the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean. Contact the aquarium at 360-268-7070 or email us at wpaquarium@gmail.com for more information.
Westport Aquarium often teaches art and science classes for kids preschool through high school age. Parents and grandparents are welcome also. We have made sail boats, By the Wind Sailor Jellyfish and Portuguese Man o' War Jelly models and raced them on a homemade water racing track. We take pictures and videos of wildlife underwater using an ROV and so much more. Email Kathryn Myrsell at wpaquarium@gmail.com if you are interested in future art classes.
