If we want more kids to be interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) careers, we need to give them more opportunities like this.
While not every school has shipwrecks near by, let alone shipwrecks from the Revolutionary War, it’s still a fabulous opportunity for kids to see real world applications of some of the great technology we currently have, while at the same time providing valuable information to the people working on this project.
It might also get some kids interested in archaeology, but we can forgive them that. Kudos to the Nation Science Foundation for funding this work.
