Sony and Intel have partnered to sponsor “Project Shiphunt.” The project sponsored a group of Michigan high school students to discover an historic sunken ship in The Great Lakes using Sony VAIO laptops. So far they have assisted in the discovery of two sunken ships, the schooner M.F. Merrick and the steel freighter Etruria. The video below describes finding the Merrick.

Thanks to Irwin Bryan for pointing out the story and Jack Tar magazine for pointing out the video.
Spectacular! Those responsible for this learning experience are the heroes of today – should be so rewarded. Nothing is more vital to living as education and stories like this should be national news.
Thank you very much for this post!
