During the course of the UW VISIONS at-sea education program, a component of the NSF-funded Ocean Observatories Initiative Regional Cabled Observatory effort, members of the Cabled Array team, educators and students have worked on outreach and engagement products to share their at-sea experiences, their research utilizing Cabled Array data, and information about the amazing technologies used to make this program happen. Examples of these products from 2013 to present are included below: more will be added as future students and educators join the VISIONS program and complete their efforts.
