Outreach

Setting sail on sonar education

Some of my past outreach focused on Sonar Education and Exploration (project SEE). With a great team, we got funded, designed, built and coded, and presented a hands-on experience for students to create their own miniature sonar research cruises over a range of seafloor features. See two different versions of the project in the publications below or snag all the source files to create your own version here.

I’ve also been involved with contributing to outreach blogs at sea, open houses, and Nerd Nite.
