Project Description
This innovative school project focuses on sea turtles that swim and nest in Maltese waters, using them as a central theme to integrate STEM subjects, the arts, and global sustainability values. Through an interdisciplinary approach, students will explore the biology and ecology of sea turtles, the threats they face, and the crucial role they play in marine ecosystems. By connecting the project to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14 – Life Below Water – learners will engage in meaningful discussions and activities around ocean conservation and sustainability.
The project aims to foster ocean literacy among children by combining scientific inquiry, creative expression, and storytelling. Students will interact with knowledgeable guests, explore real-life conservation efforts, and express their learning through both analytical and artistic outputs. From hands-on experiments and data analysis to creating visual art and writing stories inspired by sea turtle life cycles, the initiative provides a holistic educational experience.
The most significant results expected include increased awareness of local marine biodiversity, stronger environmental stewardship among young learners, and improved understanding of how interconnected human actions and ocean health are. By instilling a sense of curiosity and responsibility towards marine life from an early age, the project hopes to inspire future advocates for environmental sustainability.
Impact Assesment Tools
Current Project Impact
The following scores were calculated using a statistically-driven machine-learning approach, a type of AI that learns to perform a task by analysing patterns in data. This is an experimental approach to citizen-science impact assessment, and the exact reasoning behind the scores is not explainable. The scores represent a best guess of the impact the project is having in each domain. Scores are recalculated and updated when “View impact report” is clicked.

This is the beginning of a journey (some would say a "trajectory" ) along more than 200 questions. Don't worry; you don't have to answer them all at once. Do something, and come back some other day. You will find a lot of help along the way, and if you're generally happy to start, just click on "Ok, I got it!" below. If you're unsure how to answer a question, again, don't worry, answer it in the way that makes most sense to your project and you can always come back and change it later. If you still have doubts about life, the universe and everything, now or later, head to where to find help for advice and all the clarity you might look for.
