Continuing its educational outreach efforts, Oceanites partnered with the Library of Congress, under the auspices of its “Young Readers Center” and through its office of Educational Outreach, to celebrate World Penguin Day. On April 25, Oceanites founder Ron Naveen served as the resident author and citizen scientist at the Library of Congress' event. He was filmed teaching a class of 4th and 5th graders from a Washington, D.C. elementary school. The Maryland Zoo also partnered with Oceanites and brought Lilly, an African penguin, to the event. The entire program was covered by both ABC News and The Washington Post, the latter of which interviewed Ron following the event. Oceanites has been invited to return next year to the Library of Congress for World Penguin Day 2019.
