After setting a line in Belize's protected Glover’s Reef Atoll while monitoring and researching tiger sharks, the biologists returned the next day to find their line had moved a couple of miles away from the coral reef, into water some 2,000 feet deep. They could potentially dwell in other deep ocean regions, too, say biologists. This relatively little-known species is known to thrive in the deep seas in and around the Arctic. Spotting a Greenland shark near a coral reef off Belize was certainly an unexpected surprise. Credit: Devanshi Kasana What's a Greenland shark doing in the Caribbean? Then we'll show you some of the tech toys and tools that our students use, and give you a chance to play the role of a student and experiment a little bit.The Greenland shark, with its stark greenish-blue eye, observed in Belize by marine biologists. Paideia's STEAM coordinators will talk about our STEAM program and other opportunities for your kids.

Prop-maker Eric Anthony Leong will show you how to sculpt and mold a prop of your own design from high-tech plastics. Learn how the professionals create realistic-looking weapons and other props for the movies.
Finally, in a wrap-up discussion, filmmakers can have their questions answered about YouTube and outlets available to showcase their work. They will participate in a hands on demonstration of filming on set and learn about technology they can access to make their own movies and get them seen all over the world.
