Sails, Science, and Stories of Annapolis: Homeschool Program

From its early days as a colonial port to its reputation today as a premier sailing destination, oyster hub, and home of the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis has always had a deep connection to the water. In this hands-on STEAM program, students explore that relationship, both historical and current, while uncovering the science that keeps boats afloat and sails full of wind. Students will create boats and test out buoyancy, stability, sail power, and steering, thinking like both historians and engineers.
