There’s an ocean of learning at Shedd.

And right now, there's an art contest, too. How does the ocean inspire you? Show us by submitting an original piece of artwork. The Coastal America Foundation is sponsoring the Artistic Expressions of Ocean Literacy art contest for students from kindergarten through undergraduate college. So brush up on the contest details. Then learn more about the Seven Essential Principles of Ocean Literacy. Winners will attend a celebration in Washington, D.C., and their artwork will be displayed around the country. But get busy! Artwork must be submitted to Shedd Aquarium's information booth, located in the Kovler Family Hall (main foyer), by Thursday, May 22, 2008.

Shedd's high school lake ecology program, aboard Discovery World's schooner S/V Denis Sullivan, introduces students to Lake Michigan's aquatic and terrestrial environments.

Shedd is a textbook that explodes to life. Let us grab your attention and expand your horizons. We’ve got great programs and extremely cool teachers.
