Welcome to the HSMB website!

Shedd Aquarium has offered its High School Marine Biology Program for more than thirty years. Through its partnership with Wilderness Classroom, students, teachers, parents and friends will be able to learn right along with HSMB participants via podcasts, blogs, photos, videos, and more. This unique opportunity will allow you to share the HSMB experience with us from your own home or classroom.

HSMB 2009 runs from July 1st to July 16th. We hope you will log in daily for this unforgettable adventure.

If you are a high school student interested in applying for HSMB 2009 please fill out the Shedd Aquarium's online application.
