 Project Niu (www.projectniu.org)Project Niu is a NOAA-sponsored educational program developed by Archinoetics LLC, that provides K-12 students and teachers with hands-on, project-based experiences with satellite technologies used in remotely monitoring the ocean. Through deploying a GPS-tracked ocean drifter called “Niu” (Hawaiian for “coconut”), students develop personal understandings of ocean currents as they monitor the device’s location and sensor data throughout the school year. Because the Niu floats like plastic marine debris, it demonstrates to students that their actions, such as leaving trash on a beach, can have global environmental consequences. Roz will be deploying a Niu from her boat as she crosses the equator. |
