Abstract

University faculty and students worked with the director of education at a submarine museum to provide outreach to an economically challenged area through enhanced visitor experience using interactive educational content. Located on the south side of the Muskegon Lake Channel, the USS Silversides Museum is host to the USS Silversides, a World War II submarine, and the McLane, a U.S. Coast Guard Cutter. Content included: the interactive “Shipmate & Remotely Operated Vehicles Oceanographer Programs”, quick response codes and increased technology.
