In the smallest city, in the tiniest state, a little boat is making a big impact.
Called the Inspiration, after their city’s new slogan, the students found just that in this project.
“I get a lot of inspiration from this project in general, especially with the little kids like, like knowing that they were able to do this, lets me know that I can do something too,” said Central Falls High School Senior and Lead Engineer on the project, Ajah Johnson. “I've always wanted to be a scientist, said Ashley Donis, a student at Raices Dual Language Academy, “And it's helped me learn more about things like this.”
The Inspiration was tumbling through the gulf stream for 245 days and covered nearly 15,000 kilometers. “That little mini boat made a huge impact on these children. I think it was fabulous,” said Kim Alix, a third-grade teacher at Veterans Memorial Elementary.“I wanna be like her,” said Ashley Donis of Ajah Johnson.It’s not unusual for tiny boats to hit land. Gingras says 75% of these boats make it to shore. Now, the UK school will prepare to relaunch the boat, with help from a nearby school.
