STUDENT ENGINEERS ADVANCING OCEAN TECHNOLOGY (SEAoTech)
The STUDENT ENGINEERS ADVANCING OCEAN TECHNOLOGY (SEAoTech) project is a collaborative group dedicated to bringing new hands-on STEAM programs to communities in Alaska. The project started in 2019 thanks to support from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. The goal is to engage with communities in Homer, Kachemak Bay, and Lower Cook Inlet area of Alaska. The two primary programs in the project are the Educational Passages Miniboat Program, and Open CTD project. Partners include: Blue World Research Institute, the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies, Blackbeard Biologic, and Educational Passages.
