Syatt Certification: Programming with a Purpose

About Old Woman Creek

Located within the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Office of Coastal Management, Old Woman Creek offers:

  • Education programs focused on wetland ecology, watersheds, and invasive species
  • In-water experiences
  • Classroom and field-based learning options

What to Expect

Our students will spend the day in Old Woman Creek's field laboratory, gaining practical experience in:

  • Understanding climate impacts on wildlife
  • Studying Great Lakes aquatic invasive species
  • Analyzing water pollution
  • Exploring wetlands ecology
  • Investigating habitat loss and its effects on wildlife

As an exciting addition to our field experience, students will have the opportunity to explore the estuary by boat. They'll paddle through the waterways in kayaks or canoes, gaining a unique perspective on the ecosystem and enhancing their understanding of the environment they're studying.

This immersive experience will allow our students to see firsthand how their programming skills can be applied to environmental research and conservation efforts, while also developing a deeper connection to the natural world.

Syatt Certification: Beyond the Classroom

The field trip to Old Woman Creek, including the hands-on boating experience, is just one example of how our Syatt Certification program goes beyond traditional classroom learning. By combining programming skills with environmental science and practical field work, we're preparing our students to tackle real-world challenges and make a positive impact on our planet.
