Description: The oceanographer and explorer who discovered the wreckage of the TITANIC visited Sandy Miller Elementary to talk with students about what he does. He says he tries everything he can to get kids excited about undersea exploration. Ballard says the secret is using the fascination of the Titanic to turn them on to science and engineering, “amazing thing to get involved in. Because I think it's important our country has a lot more engineers and scientist to compete in the marketplace that we are competing in now.”
