Legendary ocean explorer Dr. Robert Ballard was featured on @CBSSunday reflecting on the discovery of the Titanic and the continuing mission of the EV Nautilus to explore and map the largely unknown world beneath the sea. Kids ask him what his next great discovery will be. His response: "I don't know. I'm just gonna bump into it." I love that answer. It's a good description of how discovery often works and captures habits of mind we should cultivate in young people: the curiosity to go looking before you know what you’ll find, and the determination to keep going long enough to find it. My colleagues are developing a three-part graphic novel series on Ballard's life and work. Walking on the Ocean Floor takes young readers beneath the surface, following Ballard's groundbreaking discoveries, the science and technology that made them possible, and the persistence behind it all. I love the idea of Ballard’s story inspiring a new generation to stay curious, keep exploring, and see what they might bump into. cbsnews.com/video/shipwrecks… @Educurious @EVNautilus
