Additional Details
Science National Honor Society (SNHS) recognizes students who excel in the sciences. Each year the students plan for various field experiences centered around anatomy & health sciences, chemistry, physics, engineering, biology, and environmental sciences. Through your support, my SNHS leadership team would like to engage in trips to the Naples Zoo, Dolphin Explorer, and Arthrex Career Showcase in Collier County.
At the Naples Zoo, our SNHS group will engage in a workshop centered on careers and conservation as well as a guided tour of the Naples Zoo. Your support will fund the student-tickets and workshop fee for the day.
At the Arthrex Career Showcase, students are exposed to a plethora of the careers available through Arthrex. They are able to see products, demonstrations, and network with various professionals. Your support will help to fund the transportation needed to take our SNHS group from Marco Island Academy to Arthrex in Naples, Florida, as this event takes place during school hours.
For more than twenty years, The Dolphin Explorer tracks our local Marco Island dolphin population through daily Dolphin Eco Tours. Your support will fund admission for our members to participate in one of their daily educational excursions.
Our quality, educational field-experiences through Marco Island Academy’s Science National Honor Society (SNHS) continue to inspire our students. Through these field experiences, students are exposed to a plethora of different science and engineering related careers. We have had students in previous years discover their passion and college major based on these trips, which is why we continue to allow our student leadership team to select our annual events based on their interests and curiosities. Your support provides the funding to allow our club fee to remain low while providing students with a number of incredible, life-changing experiences.
The Naples Zoo charges $12 / student and workshop fee of $77. We anticipate to take thirty SNHS members, totaling $437 for this field experience.
The Arthrex Career Showcase requires us to obtain transportation from Marco Island Academy to Arthrex in Naples. This transportation cost us $365 previously.
The Dolphin Explorer charges $49 / child. With thirty SNHS members anticipated to attend, that would cost roughly $1,470.
Our goal is to keep student fees for SNHS as low as possible, made possible by your generous contribution to help us provide students with valuable field experiences.
