In 2011, Flip Colmer made a phone call that would mark the beginning of fulfilling Project Recover's vision to provide unique learning opportunities to committed students.

 

Shortly after he returned from a mission to Palau in 2011, Flip read an article about the Stockbridge High School Underwater Robotics Team. They had recently won a Great Lakes Regional ROV Competition and were on their way to compete at Marine Advanced Technology Education International ROV Competition at NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Lab.

 

Blurry-eyed from days of travel and a 13-hour time difference, Flip leaped off the couch and called the superintendent of the Stockbridge School District. 

 

 

 

This blog post is a walk through history as Project Recover embarked on its first foray into offering extraordinary learning opportunities with real-world applications ... to an extraordinary underwater robotics team.

 

It started with Flip and this phone call.

 

Thank you for your support of Project Recover.
