A chat with the Hampshire Regional Miniboat Crew (from Westhampton, MA), who share with us the fun they had while preparing their miniboat throughout the entire school year. Experience the camaraderie and dedication that transformed a large, enthusiastic group into a tightly-knit team, who is now planning for launch next year.

Join us as the crew talks about things like what it will be like to continue the project over the summer, what's involved in building a miniboat, the best angle to install the on deck camera, and what did they name their miniboat.

Listen in as our young scientists discuss their forward-facing work and vision.

In this episode, Cassie talks with Lisa Swanson from Morristown Beard School in New Jersey. Lisa is currently on sabbatical and using her time to give back to her students and to Educational Passages, starting with an adventure to Nantucket, Massachusetts in February. The reason for the trip is explained, as well as other plans for relaunches from North Carolina, Ireland, and even Portugal! We also talk about ocean literacy both in and out of the classroom and ideas for ways to connect more communities this year.
