Educational Passages Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

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.
