Undersea with Seabury Students

 Today we went to the Naval Undersea Museum in Keyport on the Kitsap Peninsula. As part of our mission to learn about Modernity and WW2, learned from the exhibits and curators of the museum. Students began their study at the museum with a hands-on robotics activity. Robotics is a huge part of undersea exploration and the work of Navy specialists. Many of our students were able to program the bots to solve a series of challenges.

Next students explored the exhibits with a scavenger hunt, looking for answers among the artifacts. We looked at early diving gear, torpedoes, and submersible crafts. Students were able to take a seat on a mock up of a modern submarine deck, and man the instruments. They had some surprises too, like the role of train marine mammals in modern naval missions. Sea lions that grab enemy swimmers!

 We had lunch in the Norwegian Village of Poulsbo, and compared the donuts at Sluy's Bakery to the ones from House of Donuts.

Seabury is all about challenge, fun, and learning,
