Repost: IMET Open House

Dive into the world of marine science and explore cool tech at this open house you won't want to miss! Have you ever wondered what happens in that unique looking building with the tent-like roof at the Inner Harbor? Science happens!

The Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology (IMET) opens its doors for a free Open House on Saturday, May 2, 11am - 3pm. Enjoy hands-on science activities for all ages, meet our scientists, and discover important marine research happening throughout the harbor and the Chesapeake Bay!

Located at Baltimore's Inner Harbor, the Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology (IMET) is a joint University System of Maryland institute that conducts research to help protect and restore coastal marine systems and their watersheds and improve human health. The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES), the University of Maryland Baltimore, and the University of Maryland Baltimore County are partner universities.
