Want more information? Attend one of our teacher workshops!
We have two upcoming Teacher Workshops to give you an opportunity to meet with us virtually, learn about the program, and give insight into how best we can connect with your students! Attend our workshop and you'll also receive some Zoo themed merch (like this 16oz coffee press mug) at the same time!

About Cool Blue Bridgeport
The Zoo has partnered with the City of Bridgeport to create Cool Blue Bridgeport - a climate action and resilience program. As part of this collaboration, we're offering free 30 minute climate change lessons and climate mitigation techniques for all students in Bridgeport public schools until June 24th, 2023. The program focuses on a different animal in our collection each month as we discuss the ways each species is being affected by the changing climate and how it affects us, especially as a coastal city.
So come share a slice with us as we learn!

Favorite Animal: Spider monkeys, their incredible agility, strength and limitless curiosity inspire me every day. Why Climate Change is Important: I grew up in the Caribbean, and even though the temperature swings aren’t as severe as they are here in the US, I saw firsthand some of the devastating effects of Climate Change, including floods followed by months of drought, more hurricanes with higher intensity, not to mention the increasing global temperatures. Having experienced all of this, I needed to act. Favorite Part of Cool Blue: I get to inspire members of our community to take action and fight Climate Change! Favorite Pizza: I love barbecue chicken pizza, on a thin crust! |
