Over the last few days, we have been busy testing and designing various models of our underwater vehicles and measuring linear, vertical, and rotational speed based on thruster placement. We applied our findings to our vehicle designs as we prepared for our first full scale pool test at UMass Lowell's Costello indoor pool. Much of our time has been spent wiring motors and switches, balancing and stabilizing our vehicles, and prioritizing our design criteria.
For two weeks in March, the entire Lawrence Academy community shifts its attention from the regular academic routine to intensive courses of study that are dedicated to experiential learning. In small groups of eight to sixteen, students and teachers plunge together into the world outside the classroom (LA-Website).
