A group of high school students took a deeper look at the mechanics of underwater gliders during a visit to RAEON (Real-Time Aquatic Ecosystem Observation Network) earlier this month, gaining hands-on experience with the high-tech devices used to monitor the Great Lakes ecosystems.
About 21 students from Assumption College Catholic High School’s Technological Design (Robotics) class, grades 10 to 12, visited RAEON to learn about what they do, how the autonomous gliders work, and the mechanics behind them.
