Speakers Bio
Kaitlyn Grandy & Stephanie Evans are the student leaders of the Raven KASTER relaunch project, they were in grade 8 class at Frank Roberts Junior High in Conception Bay South, Newfoundland, when they won the video challenge and started their journey.
Now, both are in second year university at Memorial university of Newfoundland. Kaitlyn is university studying Behavioural Neuroscience & Stephanie is studying Earth Sciences.
Abstract
Kaitlyn and Stephanie won the video competition "How the Ocean Affects Climate Change "in grade eight that was part of an outreach program with the Marine Institute. Their prize was the mini-boat pre-built by Marine Institute. Since then, the boat had been launched off the Grand Banks in November 2018 and recovered 102 days later at Achill Island, Ireland in February 2019. They have gathered a Raven KASTER team both in Conception Bay South, NL, and Ireland, raised funds to complete the refit and upgrade of the mini-boat, travelled Ireland to meet our Irish team, and learned a lot long the way!
