Voyage into the Abyss
Kristen Kusek, IR’s E&O Coordinator for 2004-2007, co-produced this video with Robin Cooper of Future Vision, a company based in St. Petersburg, Florida. The ½-hour video—aimed at middle school students—was produced as part of the educational program Kusek developed while she was director of education outreach for the NSF-supported IMAX film “Volcanoes of the Deep Sea” (released in 2003). For more information about “Volcanoes of the Deep Sea”, please visit www.volcanoesofthedeepsea.com. On that site you will also find a PDF of the Teacher’s Guide developed for the film.
