- Provided students with AIS education and reinforced AIS awareness
- Students gained increased learning in science, geography, and technology
- Students were empowered to become part of the solution to prevent the spread of AIS
- Two field events took place, introducing students from Rhinelander and Mellen to each other and to their regional-specific AIS issues.
- Field events provided on-shore and on-water learning stations and fostered critical thinking
- Use of technology during field events broadened students learning experiences
- A unique and non-traditional partnership was created
