Southern Miss Research Team
Our diverse university-based research team has worked diligently to document the evolution of this broad partnership and the work of district personnel, middle and high school science teachers, non-profit organizations in the community, and the support of students and their families. We have Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) educators and psychologists from the University of Southern Mississippi and the Pascagoula River Audubon Center studying the WetKids model for out-of-school STEM immersion.
