Argonauts

Every student and teacher who explores with JASON is
given the title of Argonaut, named for the crew that sailed
aboard the Argo with Jason, the mythological Greek
explorer.

As Argonauts, these students and teachers work with
and learn from some of the world's greatest explorers,
scientists, and researchers on cutting-edge science. We're
looking for more Argonauts to join our crew.

Argonauts are challenged to apply their knowledge to
exciting, real-world science as they explore our planet and
change it for the better. Inside and outside the classroom,
they come together in a global community of learners.

"Our Argo team, including Jason Dunion [a NOAA
meteorologist], got to try to forecast a storm as the Air
Force was flying into it. We concluded it was... a tropical
depression. We were right! A couple of hours after the storm,
the National Hurricane Center reported the same
thing."
--Matthew Worsham, Student Argonaut,
Operation: Monster Storms
