NASA Summer Months Camp Motivates Future Climate Innovators

.Coming from July 15-19, 2024, the Coastal Equity as well as Durability Hub at the Georgia Principle of Innovation worked together along with the University of Georgia (UGA) Marine Expansion as well as Georgia Ocean Give to hold a week-long NASA Mean sea level Changemakers Summer Months Camp.
