Field Science Education and Cultural Exchange—The EPI Way EPI engages students in field science through hands-on collection of meaningful data alongside research biologists in amazing locations around the world. In addition to inquiry-based science, students have the opportunity to engage the local community at each of our field sites by interacting with local students their age.
Inspiring Students from Costa Rica to Galapagos Islands Students reflect on their experiences with EPI in Costa Rica and the Galapagos Islands. Gaining hands-on experience learning sea turtle ecology and island ecology, student groups learn to appreciate science and the natural world.
