Sažetak
Developing young people's understanding of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics with the addition of art - STE(a)M is an irreplaceable stepping stone in the process of creating both STEM-literate and ocean-literate society. In our aim to motivate and educate the new generations, we are taking advantage of the exciting new technologies and the investigation of the deep ocean to promote science and ocean literacy at the same time. During our regular annual activities in promoting ocean science at the University of Zadar, Croatia, various workshops were organized for elementary and high school children, where the secrets of the deep sea and its unique inhabitants were brought to life in the classrooms, inspiring children to think about vast, unexplored, yet endangered "inner space", therefore raising interest and awareness for the deep ocean. By using the examples of worldwide explorations of the deep sea and by demonstrating the potential use of cutting-edge technologies, ROVs and submersibles, we managed to provide an adventurous introduction to scientific learning. Children used Lego (r) blocks, maneuvered real ROVs, created paper models of deep-sea fish and produced amazing and creative artworks. This is an example of how it is possible to promote ocean literacy principles, raise ocean and environmental awareness and contribute to achieving sustainable development goal SDG14.
