Page "PAST Foundation" Paragraph 2

For the next five years, PAST continued to partner with both public and private organizations building educational programs like Riverboatin ' on the Red for Oklahoma's Department of Education and SCRUNCH for the US Minerals Management Service.

Both programs pivoted around ongoing research such as the discovery of a shipwreck in the Red River dating to Oklahoma's early 19th century settlement period and the effects of pressure on Styrofoam cups that were taken down on the AUV ( Autonomous Underwater Vehicle ) that studied World War II shipwrecks in thousands of feet of water in the Gulf of Mexico.

These program-based learning projects that crossed disciplines have become the cornerstone of PAST.
