The JASON Project began as the dream of Dr. Robert Ballard,
the scientist and oceanographer who discovered the wreck of the
RMS Titanic in 1986. Dr. Ballard believed that enabling students
and their teachers to do field work from the classroom was a
powerful concept. The JASON Project was born on the basis of
this powerful idea and has since grown into the world's premier
real-time science teaching and learning program.
By taking advantage of cutting edge communications
technology and bringing science to life, the JASON Project is helping
to revolutionize the way science is taught. That is good news not only
for our students, but for our country." ---- Dr. Robert D. Ballard
The JASON Project is a multi-disciplinary program that sparks the imagination of
students and enhances the classroom experience. From oceans to rain forests, from
polar regions to volcanoes, the JASON Project explores Planet Earth and exposes
students to leading scientists who work with them to examine its biological and
geological development.
From the depths of dark oceans to the heights of wet rain forests, from icy Polar
Regions to red-hot volcanoes, the JASON Project travels the world, taking students
and teachers on an exciting educational adventure. The JASON Project brings
adventure and the thrill of discovery into the classroom, exploring the following
questions:
What are nature's dynamic systems?
How do these systems affect life?
What technologies do we use to study these systems and why?
