Kansas Senator Jerry Moran is hosting world-renowned ocean explorer, Doctor Robert Ballard today in Atchison to speak with area students about the importance of science, technology, engineering and mathematics or STEM.
Doctor Ballard, a Kansas native, has previously discovered the Titanic and other long-lost vessels in oceans around the world. He and his team recently searched for Atchison native Amelia Earhart’s missing plane, which he plans to discuss with students during his STEM event. Ballard will also video conference scientists on board an exploration ship who will be actively exploring U.S. territory in the Central Pacific.
