Paris Aquarium Education – School & Citizen Science Programs

Linking exhibit awe to structured learning amplifies retention.

1. School Visit Framework

• Pre-visit digital pack: vocabulary (plankton, symbiosis), simple tank map.
• Worksheets: classification exercise; water quality interpretation chart.

2. Guided Tour Layers

3. Citizen Science Modules

• Visitors log observed behaviors (cleaner interactions, spawning signs) via app; data aggregates into informal pattern tracking.

4. Interactive Digital App Features

• AR overlay names species when camera points at tank.
• Mini quizzes unlock conservation badges.

5. Curriculum Alignment (France)

6. Impact Measurement

• Post-visit survey: recall of 3 species + 1 conservation action → retention indicator.

Bottom Line

Structured multi-layer interpretation transforms a leisure visit into an active learning scaffold—building future ocean stewards.
