Life Sail Inc

LifeSail works closely with schools and US Sailing to integrate STEM curriculum into its classes. The students might not realize it but they're getting practical lessons in science, technology, engineering and math! Some feedback so far:

"Being able to work on a boat just gave me that hands on approach that I'd never had before ... A lot of these kids, they never get the chance to get out of that bubble, the neighborhood they live in, and this gives them the opportunity to learn more."
-- Denise, Hawthorne Math and Science Academy student

"It teaches you to not be hesitant and to just go take charge. Like in the building process, if you see something wrong you just take charge and say 'this should probably be here.'"
-- Serratia, Hawthorne Math and Science Academy student

"Sometimes you're hesitant to do things but here I'm more assertive of myself."
-- Kimberly, Hawthorne Math and Science Academy student

"This is such an exciting opportunity for our students to build the boat, learn how to sail and now getting to see all of their hard work come to fruition."
-- Dr. Helen Morgan, Hawthorne School District superindendent

"It really fits innicely to the science and mathematic component of the school. And it's a great social activity for these kids."
-- Steve Tabor, Hawthorne School District associate superindendent

"I don't want them to learn to become a boatbuilder, I want them to learn how to work together as a team."
-- Matt Schulz, LifeSail founder
