Description
Join a NESS Educator and learn some of our programs that you can bring back to your classroom.
Sailing is a wonderful avenue to actualize STEM education in an exciting real life application. Learn the physics behind sailing, simple machines or basic navigation principles to name just a few. This class will focus on model sail boats, built from simple materials, including determining how much cargo your boat can hold, the proper keel to cargo ratio and best rudder shape and placement. Suitable for grades 5-8.
