Here be Dragons 2018: Track B
Channel: MIT Media Lab
Date: 15/03/2018

Sea monsters such as the kraken, prister, and rosmarus indicated uncharted territory on elaborate new maps of the world in medieval times. Despite many advances in mapping technology and data acquisition  in the last 500 years, our ocean remains largely uncharted and poorly understood.

Here be Dragons convened explorers, innovators, artists, scientists, and storytellers to identify the uncharted territories that still exist in ocean exploration and storytelling. In response, MIT students will  work with explorers to develop and present collaborative projects to deploy new and emerging technologies in the field that address gaps in our understanding and sharing of the ocean. Select proposals will be funded for Rapid Field Deployments.

In collaboration with the National Geographic Society and New England Aquarium.
