Electric Boats and Environmental Education Programs
What better way to learn about protecting the environment than by getting out on the water? That’s the thinking behind electric boats and environmental education programs.
Electric boats are quiet, don’t produce emissions, and are gentle on the water, making them ideal for exploring sensitive ecosystems. And what better way to learn about the environment than by getting up close and personal with it?
Environmental education programs that get kids out on electric boats are popping up all over the country. These programs are a great way to get kids interested in the environment and get them thinking about ways to protect it.
One such program is the Electric Boat Academy, founded by environmental educator Liz Cunningham. The Academy offers week-long courses for kids ages 11-17. During the course, students learn about boat handling, safety, and navigation, as well as environmental science. They also get to spend time exploring the local ecosystem in an electric boat.
The Academy is just one of many environmental education programs that are using electric boats to teach kids about the environment. These programs are a great way to get kids interested in protecting the environment and to get them thinking about ways to reduce their impact on the planet.
