We are thrilled to be joining the Waterlust Trivia Challenge this semester! Put your marine sceince knowledge to the test at the REEF Ocean Exploration Center. The subject matter will span all aspects of marine science- such as marine biology, physical oceanography, marine chemistry, marine geology, atmospheric science etc. The questions that will challenge players with a graduate-student level of education, so creating diverse teams with members with a wide variety of knowledge is encouraged. Teams may have between 1-6 participants.
Education is powerful.
