The Education Department at Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum is excited to announce our Spring and Summer 2024 Professional Development Series FREE for South Carolina educators that are currently teaching or hold a South Carolina teaching certificate.
Professional Development Series
WAVES: Survival at Sea
Date: March 14, 2025
Time: 9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
Location: Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum
Direct Contact Hours: 4
Intrinsic to the story of WWII's Pacific Theater is the vast Pacific Ocean itself. Equally important to the story are the WAVES (Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service), notable Dr. Mary Sears. Learn about Dr. Sears and the critical role she played.
Workshop participants will have the chance to "sea" survival at sea kits and assorted emergency materials from the Collection of Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum. Standards-based activities built upon the collection will include searching for a downed pilot, designing experiments to test shark propaganda, going "fishing", and more!
This event is free to attend, but pre-registration is required by March 11. Email Hannah Kratz with questions.
