Space is limited. The workshop is sponsored by the Barataria Terrebonne

for the workshop is how to use LUMCON's Bayouside Classroom water sampling
program in the classroom to educate students about water quality issues of
the Barataria-Terrebonne Estuary complex. Any Louisiana science teacher is
encouraged to apply. We are inviting teachers who have never been trained
to use Bayouside Classroom, as well as, those who have been trained in the
past to attend as mentors. Every participant of the workshop will receive

kit, teacher resources, CEUs, and much more. Educators interested in
