Tribal Students Dig into Guts of a Glider!
NANOOS PI Jack Barth and Jace Marquardt (OSU) visited the Quinault Indian Nation's Taholah School on September 30, 2024, the day before successfully recovering an underwater glider off Westport, WA. Jace and Jack brought an underwater glider for interested Taholah high schoolers to take apart, examine all the internal electronics and mechanical features that make the glider work, and then put it back together. The students were eager to get their hands on the equipment and caught on quickly about how we use o-rings to keep out sea water and about the many other technological innovations in underwater gliders.
