Educational Passages Podcast

From the Cliffs of Moher to the classrooms of Galway, our trip to Ireland in March with Educational Passages highlights the magic of ocean education. This is the second part of a conversation with Juliet Fluty (click here to listen to part 1). It dives into all the details behind the visits we mentioned in our blog post: educationalpassages.org/miniboat-magic-in-ireland/. The trip to Ireland unveiled profound connections that have been made through our miniboat program, and the impact is has had on communities involved. We explore the journeys of students, the warmth of local hospitality, and the importance of the ocean in education and our lives. To access the special VIDEO version of this podcast, visit https://youtu.be/FTHFK8uzZ5k. Support the showEducational Passages is a non-profit organization that seeks to connect people around the world to the ocean and each other through unique global experiences.

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.To access the special VIDEO version of this podcast, visit https://youtu.be/x1V5eSy2U6I.Support the Show.Educational Passages is a non-profit organization that seeks to connect people around the world to the ocean and each other through unique global experiences.

In this episode, Cassie talks with Juliet Fluty, who has been interning with Educational Passages. Juliet is also a student at the University of New England studying Educational Studies and Marine Biology. Over the last couple of months, she has focused on relaunching the Mini Maine miniboat with students in Maine and Ireland. Hear all about the project and learning that has happened so far.

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.To learn more about the miniboats and stories mentioned, visit these links:July 23, 2022 Podcast Episode: 10 Years and 10 Miniboats from Morristown Beard School and the Morristown Beard Miniboat Fleet page to explore all (11) miniboats from their school.Crimson TideCrimson CurrentGryphon CruiserCape Cod Sea Turtle Project (Falmouth)Mini-boat teaching students about more than ocean currents by Kaie Quigley in The Inquirer and MirrorMini MaineAIMS InfinityCrimson CycloneUSA Blue Schools (clarification to the podcast: Morristown Beard School has applied to be a USA Blue School, not an All Atlantic Blue School)Crimson VoyagerTake Portugal to the World (Escola Azul partnership)The LegendarySupport the showEducational Passages is a non-profit organization that seeks to connect people around the world to the ocean and each other through unique global experiences.

This is the first episode of the Educational Passages podcast called “What is Educational Passages?”. In this episode, Cassie is joined by Thomas to talk about the Educational Passages program. Cassie discusses the program's mission, and how it fosters important connections that help develop a further understanding of the ocean.  Here are just some of topics discussed in the show:Cassie answers the question; “What is Educational Passages"? (https://educationalpassages.org/).There was some talk about the process of getting started (https://educationalpassages.org/start/) and what students can learn from following the path of the miniboats, including the launching and relaunching of boats.Cassie explains that along with the GPS, you can now add sensors to the boats that include temperature (water and air), and pitch sensors. An example of a miniboat currently at sea with these sensors is the Square Mile (https://educationalpassages.org/boats/squaremile/) miniboat.Maker Buoy Shop (https://www.makerbuoy.com/) was mentioned when discussing the sensor packs that can be added to a miniboat.Cassie talks about the mini boat West (https://educationalpassages.org/boats/west/) from Maine that had several relaunches.Cassie mentions Rye Riptides (https://educationalpassages.org/boats/rye-riptides/) miniboat that recently landed in Norway. Thomas talks about the Raven KASTER (https://educationalpassages.org/boats/raven-kaster/) miniboat, which was launched by his students in November 2018. The boat  landed in Achill Island, Ireland and is currently on display at the visitor center there called the Achill Island Experience - Aquarium & Visitor (https://achillexperience.ie/).Cassie and Thomas talk about the landing of three miniboats on the southcoast of the island of Newfoundland. Teal Turtle (https://educationalpassages.org/boats/tealturtle/)HK Pride (https://educationalpassages.org/boats/hkpride/)BHS Roweboat (https://educationalpassages.org/boats/bhs_roweboat/)If you would like to send us feedback please email:  info@educationalpassages.orgEducational Passages is a non-profit organization that seeks to connect people around the world to the ocean and each other through unique global experiences.Support the show (https://educationalpassages.org/connect/support/)
