	Educational Programs

	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. Internship Program Kelsey's Experience

	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. Visit our Cayman Expedition page to see an example of this program.

	Downloadable Educational Tools	"Creative Solutions to Environmental Problems" is our series of short, educational videos. These "edu-taining" productions can be downloaded by anyone, free-of-charge from our website. A variety of download options allow teachers and students to use the productions for in-classroom teaching tools, or students can download our video shorts directly to their iPods so they can view them in their leisure time. In the future, distribution opportunities such as youtube.com will be incorporated to insure we reach the largest possible population. Educational Productions

	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. Searchable 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 Cocos Island Marine Status

	Imaging Foundation Website	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. Past Expeditions
