Internship
Programs
|
Qualified students can join our program and expeditions. Young, interested
team members enhance any project. The cost of our trips are
supported by our volunteers, therefore the fee cannot be waived. However,
our student director and our core team members are happy to help
any interested students develop and implement a fund raising strategy.

International Interactive Educational
Programs
|
By setting up
partnership schools, the Imaging Foundation
can immerse kids in a long distance learning
experience. This program simultaneously
teaches marine biology, geography, and international
studies. The excitement of the actual
expedition serves as a launch-pad; kids feel
that they are part of the experience and this
involvement translates into greater interest
and success in all their school endeavors.
Future programs will target remote schools and foster relationships
between them and United States students. Our pilot project in
Grand Cayman proved that this learning tool captures the attention
of participating student, furthermore, students are given the opportunity
to envision future careers options that require a high school education.

our Cayman Expedition page to see an example

Educational
Websites
|
The Internet plays a key role in sharing information
and educating students of all ages. Imaging Foundation
created the only website focused on the pacific
humpback whale. The pages of this site
describes the biology of these whales, the economic
strength of whaling tourism vs. the waste of
rampant whale harvesting, in addition, a kids'
section also makes learning "whale basics" fun.

Image
and Video Database
|
Students and teachers can tap into our image/video
database and incorporate them into school projects,
and videos. While current copyright law
allows "fair usage" i.e. the use of
any image or copyrighted material for limited
use within the parameters of a classroom, the
Imaging Foundation encourages students to use
these images while continuing to enhance the
current database.

Special Projects
|
Imaging Foundation is occasionally asked to
produce special projects which coincide with
the mission of the organization. On a recent
trip to Cocos Island we utilized team skills
to create a visual log of the effect of season
and temperature on Island marine fauna

Each expedition
log provides anecdotal information about our
expeditions. While not created as
teaching tools, these daily accounts discuss
the flora and fauna encountered at each location
as well as local culture and reflections.
