School Presentations
Over 117,000 students across the country have seen the Jellyfish Project school presentation!
The Jellyfish Project provides students with a unique experience to learn about ocean health and the climate crisis, motivating them to become active environmental stewards. What makes our presentation unique is that the presenters are musicians and their vibrant, live music performance is used as a means to engage the attention of the students and set the stage for the captivating slideshow that follows.
A portion of the topics covered in the slideshow are plastic pollution, ocean acidification, fossil fuel extraction, pollution, deforestation, and the changing climate. The bulk of the presentation is weighted on the side of optimism and solutions through ‘good news’ stories, alternative energy initiatives, green career ideas, and opportunities for youth to engage in environmental action.
Our intention is to deliver a message of hope to help mitigate the fear and helplessness students may be feeling by empowering them with the knowledge that they, as youth, can become instruments of change and that every individual action, no matter how big or small, is impactful.
The Jellyfish Project presentation is geared towards middle and high school students grades 6-12. The performance time depends on the amount of block time we are allotted by each school as well as the age range of the audience. Generally, the presentations are 45-60 minutes which includes the musical performance, slide presentation by the musicians, and time for discussion.
