Thanks to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the support of Lyda Hill Philanthropies as part of the AAAS IF/THEN® Ambassadors Program. An IF/THEN® She Can Change The World Project, We will be sharing our journey to become aquanauts at the Jules’ Undersea Lodge in Key Largo, Florida, U.S.A
What is an aquanaut?
Someone who spends over 24 hours continuously in an underwater habitat which is exposed to the ambient pressure of the water therefore reaching a biological state of saturation- the underwater habitat is continually exposed to the ocean through a moon pool.
The team will SCUBA dive to enter and exit the lodge.
July 17-18, 2021
A FREE #STEM event for the whole family!
