COSEE collaborated with the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Education Department staff to offer a hands-on oceanography themed booth. The booth was staffed by National COSEE Office staff and AGU Education staff. AGU donated graphic artist time and effort to create a custom graphic for the event, which also served as an organizing graphic for the activities offered in the booth.

The following print materials were available in the COSEE Booth:

  • COSEE brochure
  • COSEE and AGU@USASEF postcards with a link to 11 activities offered throughout the weekend. These activities, posted to the COSEE.net website, were intended to serve as hands-on examples representing various sub-disciplines within oceanography.
  • Ocean Literacy brochures
  • Hands-on oceanography activities postcards
  • COSEE Hands-on activities CD
  • Sound in the Sea CD and brochure
  • Hurricanes and Society CD and brochure
  • Hurricanes and Society webinar series flyer
  • Ocean Gazing podcast CD

The USA Science and Engineering Festival attracted close to 200,000 attendees.
