“The Teaching With Small Boats Alliance (TWSBA) 2017 conference and 2017 Boat Engineering Challenge exemplified a common theme: students, not boats, should be the focus of maritime and marine programs… The conference, hosted at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum (CBMM) from April 27 through April 29, brought together educators from around the world, pooling resources, ideas, and ambitions. The engaging CBMM campus turned teachers into students, creating an environment of constant learning and observation.” – educationalpassages.org
