A day at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science

On June 4th, MUSE GREEN STEAM and the DEEPSEA CHALLENGE Expedition team stopped at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas,Texas.  After an early call time for local press we set-up for a day full of awe-inspiring science and excitement.

Setting up the MUSE and EDUCATION Table.

The DEEPSEA CHALLENGER SUB was parked in front of the MUSEUM and MUSE School CA set up an interactive education table. The people of DALLAS came out in full force! We spent most of the time answering questions about the sub, handing out MUSE School Experiments in a Bag, and connecting with the next generation of innovators.  Both children and adults were captivated by the sub and the story behind how it was imagined, designed, and built.  Pauline Medrano, Mayor Pro of Dallas was inspired and very interested in connecting Dallas Schools to the MUSE GREEN STEAM movement.

We also had the opportunity to hear from David Gallo of Woodshole Oceanographic Institution about the importance of ocean exploration. His  knowledge, sense of humor and quick wit was enjoyed by all. He spoke on importance of the environment and understanding our impact on the oceans. He spoke of underwater lakes and waterfalls that have yet to be fully explored! Most importantly he spoke to the NEXT GENERATION of People and inspired them to innovate and make change! I met many of those next generation innovators today!

I was happy to see family and friends in DALLAS! Our junior Team Members, Nicolas, Liberty, and Zia had a blast at the Museum's hands on interactive exhibits and were treated like VIPS. Today the junior team will Skype with classmates back at MUSE School CA and share highlights of the journey from their perspective.
