Heal the Bay Water Research program Course 1, Day 4

Hi, this is Angela Oh speaking on behalf of the fourth day at Compton for the Heal the Bay Creek Week.
Today, the students got ready behind the casino and did their assessments bright and early. Right afterwards, they picked up trash around the creek, learning about all the difference in water quality and severity of the city of Compton's affect on the water there.
After eating lunch, the students shortly had an activity on what they would bring, as a team, to a deserted island. Each team leader came up and presented their list of items, also being critiqued and questioned by their peers. As a connection from this activity, each team then decided on a mascot, animal or object, and then discussed their own list of items and questions regarding their projects. They were able to discuss what they needed to do, who they needed to contact to facilitate and enhance their projects, and how they were going to pursue them.
Each project and research papers seems to be developing tremendously and I am extremely excited for the students to begin their actual projects after talking to PAVA. I hope that PAVA can support and encourage all of their research ideas and projects and I am sure to help them after Friday as well as much as I can.
Thank you so much.

Sincerely,
Angela Oh
