MATH & SCIENCE
|
|
- The National Sailing Hall of Fame & Sailing Center and Anne Arundel County Public Schools are developing curriculum for teaching math and science through sailing that meets the needs of two pilot groups of Anne Arundel County students. Initial activities with curricular material and students began in April with a six week STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) Problem Based Learning module with 104 freshmen at South River High School. That culminated with a day-long field trip to the NSHOF with time sailing and time touring the Robert Crown Sailing Center at the Naval Academy. NSHOF will teach a two week STEM Summer Bridge Program in July and offer a year-long AACPS Co-Curricular Club based on the math and science of sailing and sailing challenges beginning in October. In May students from both Sojourner Douglass Middle College program and the Center for Applied Technology Marine Technology Training enjoyed a half day learning excursion on Pride of Baltimore II from the NHSOF dock. Additional sailing and academic programming for these AACPS students is under development.
- One of the highlights of the NSHOF Sailing Center and the NSHOF Education Program is the use of the Sandbaggers, Bull and Bear. These two replicas of the 1869 Suzy Q are not only magnificent to look at ashore and under sail but everyone from students to adults who have sailed them, rave about their exhilarating performance.

Hudson River Community Sailing

|
- Hudson River Community Sailing has developed and implemented an Accredited After School Program to teach math and science through sailing. A joint effort with the National Sailing Hall of Fame & Sailing Center is underway to implement the program in public schools.
Hudson River Community Sailing (HRCS) is a non-profit 501c3 organization dedicated to serving the financially at risk urban youth community of New York City, as well as providing recreational waterfront access to the residents of New York through sailing. The HRCS youth mission is delivered through three cornerstone programs: Accredited After School Program, partners with Chelsea area public schools. Students earn a math credit towards their high school graduation using the New York City waterfront and a curriculum of sailing and navigation as their classroom. Summer Leadership Program, recruits participants from their partner public schools, to engage students in a week long leadership program. Graduates of the program earn a physical education credit towards their school graduation. Summer Internship Program, graduates of the Accredited After School Program apply for a four week job skills training program, teaching them the necessary job skills for future employment, along with the importance of community involvement and environmental appreciation.
HRCS also offers an array of adult recreational activities including certified sailing lessons, membership opportunities and competitive racing events that contribute directly to funding our youth mission programs.
