Plankton Explorer: citizen science & land art-making

But that’s not all! Unleash your creativity and channel your newfound knowledge into creating plankton art sculptures, inspired by the mesmerizing plankton communities.
Join us to explore, learn, and leave your mark on the world and embark on a journey that combines science, art, and environmental consciousness.
