Discover & Research
Discover > JASON Telecast


Students attend a live broadcast shown via video projection
in the new Munger Theatre.

Discover a treasure of experiences and help us to share and inform those who have not been able to explore the sea themselves to experience the wonders of the California coast. We hope that you too will be amazed and fascinated by the wonders of California's nature, the beauty of the fish, and underwater exhibits; and the rich, fascinating history of the California coast, the men and their ships.

The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum
offers its own in-house educational programs ranging from tours to instructional classes. Complimentary to this is our active participation in the Jason Program.

The JASON Program
www.jasonproject.org

The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum is also dedicated to the education of our local youth. The museum hosts JASON, an annual, interactive, science-based, educational experience for local students and teachers. Using satellite technology, JASON allows students to interact in real time with scientists working in the field around the world.

JASON was founded in 1989 by Dr. Robert Ballard, the oceanographer and explorer who discovered the wreck of the Titanic. Impressed by the interest that students showed in his discovery, Dr. Ballard started JASON to further their curiosity in scientific exploration. The museum provides a local connection for students and the Santa Barbara marine environment.
