Mrs. Renz's 4th Grade Class  Redmond, Oregon

Mrs. Renz 

JASON XV Teacher Argonaut

What is the Student and Teacher Argonaut Program?

Each year, some hard working, talented students and teachers are selected to join the JASON Project expedition team, traveling with the scientists and production team to the remote locations from which JASON will broadcast that year.  These participants are called Student and Teacher Argonauts.  Their work begins the day they are chosen and ends long after the expedition has drawn to a close.  This year the JASON XV Student and Teacher Argonauts will be traveling to Barro Colorado Island and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama to assist scientists with experiments and studies and to participate in the live JASON XV "Rainforests at the Crossroads" broadcast. This opportunity has them joining Dr. Robert Ballard  and world class scientists at the expedition site.  The trip lasts approximately two weeks and occurs in late January and early February 2004.
