Have you ever been intrigued by the high seas and the deep waters of the ocean? Well, apparently several of our Club members from across the country have been and you can log on live to see some of their adventures as they take on some truly deep waters and explore the mysteries of the sea.

The JASON National Argonaut program connects students with scientists and researchers for real (or near-real time) scientific experiences around the sea. This year, two different Boys & Girls Clubs were chosen to be a part of the exploration program. The educators and Club members are: Lucinda Reese, educator, of Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Joseph County, South Bend, Indiana and her students TaShawn R. (16) and Devyn J. (14). Romeo Cruz, educator, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio and his students Hilary R. (15) and Jacob Z. (15) are also particpating.

Members and their advisors underwent a boot camp during the summer and did exploration around the coast of Connecticut to prepare for more underwater exploration this fall! To read all about their summer experiences and to see what they are up to now aboard the Nautilus, click here!
