Sailing Into Knowledge
We teach math and science through sailing
STEAM
The weather above, the water below, everything in-between and on the boat can provide daily, real-world science lessons. Using sailing as a medium, our program provides youth with hands-on integrated learning opportunities that inspire interest in fields of study like physics, marine biology, robotics, technology and more.
TEAMWORK!
The power of the wind can be harnessed with teamwork and some simple machines. Sailing encourages individuals to work together as harmonious teams and gives students a liberating way to exercise and overcome challenges together.
OCEAN STEWARDSHIP
Our lessons teach our profound stake in a healthy ocean that is free of trash and marine debris and relate to larger ocean literacy ideas such as how humans and the ocean are inextricably interconnected. We aim to inspire students to become environmental stewards and socially responsible individuals.
SAILING
Every time a student steps into a boat, pulls the tiller, or trims a sail they are experiencing hands on, powerful lessons. The complexity of sailing creates a challenging, yet alluring drive to succeed and understand the forces at work in the sport. Harnessing the wind, waves, and the mechanics of sailing are natural motivators for all youth to pursue sailing (and science) as a life-long interest
