Shipwrecks are fascinating to adults and children alike. The vast information that each shipwreck project offers touches upon virtually every subject area essential to a comprehensive education: history, science, geography, math, archaeology, technology and more.

​

Seascape has developed and supported a number of educational programs, including shipwreck exploration and marine archaeology curriculum developed as an educational tool for the traveling exhibit SHIPWRECK! Pirates & Treasure.

The shipwreck curriculum has also been used successfully as stand-alone lessons in both public and private schools.

 

Additionally, teachers have focused on the pioneering work in the deep ocean to further develop project-based learning activities where students participate in hands-on activities to enhance their understanding of scientific discovery, math, history and geography and the principles and procedures fundamental to marine exploration and nautical archaeology.
