A day spent watching the indoor waves and merging science, math, engineering and technology with energy literacy! #here4a5 Perquimans Schools

The last few minutes with the research tank and the energy bouys. Students were able to see how this wave energy could benefit their NC coastal areas especially to return power after a storm.
