What I Did On My Summer Vacation

Falmouth Morse Pond School students Lauryn McGann, Natalie Packard, and Alexia Morton (left to right) spent part of their summer building a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). The rising sixth graders were part of the 2016 Girls in Ocean Engineering and Science (GOES) Institute, an educational outreach program led by WHOI scientist Anna Michel. GOES was funded by a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation to give six students a week at WHOI exploring ocean science and engineering. The program, which will run annually for five years and bring alumnae back each summer, helps to educate and inspire the next generation of scientists.
