Marion Bowers was a volunteer at the National Aquarium and a gifted high school science teacher in Maryland. She was passionate about the environment, and her enthusiasm and dedication touched the lives of many people. Upon her death in 1999, her friends and family created the Marion S. Bowers Discovery Award to continue her legacy of stewardship of the natural world.
The Marion Bowers Discovery Award is a teacher-in-residence opportunity open to teachers from any public or private school in Baltimore City or Baltimore County. The award pays a $250 stipend.
The selected candidate will work alongside non-formal educators to develop and improve ways to use the Aquarium's exhibits as teaching tools. Lessons gained from the experience will be made available to the education community.
