Argo in Schools

Argo is beginning a new feature on the web site to showcase work done by students after learning about Argo in school. The first submission is a piece of artwork Howard Freeland received from a student after he had the opportunity to talk to a group of "home-school" children in Canada during an event called Tech Week organized by a home-school parent. Howard has worked with these children before, many live in remote areas without access to schools. Eliana Snell is 12 years old and loved the Argo robots in the ocean, however, she was also worried about the floats being attacked by Orca whales. She sent the picture below to illustrate her concerns and has given permission for her picture to be reproduced.

To submit a piece of work from a student and a description of the outreach, contact Megan Scanderbeg at argo@ucsd.edu.
