She earned her BSc in mechanical and ocean engineering at MIT and is currently a Marshall Scholar and PhD candidate with Oxford University\u2019s Ocean Research &amp; Conservation Group. An avid sailor and diver, she\u2019s participated in five marine expeditions on four continents. Her work experience includes helping to design, build, and text submersible and aerial robots that have deployed in the Arctic, Antarctic, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans. In 2014 she was an aquanaut on Fabien Cousteau\u2019s Mission 31, living and working on the ocean floor for two weeks in the Aquarius underwater lab. Grace will speak to students about marine robotics and the future of ocean exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><br>Check it out here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3PggYALmOpM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3PggYALmOpM<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><br>#HAPLOceansofPossibilities<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3PggYALmOpM\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/holdrege\/files\/2022\/05\/Virtual-Field-Trip-7-1024x577.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/holdrege\/files\/2022\/05\/Virtual-Field-Trip-7-1024x577.png 1024w, https:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/holdrege\/files\/2022\/05\/Virtual-Field-Trip-7-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/holdrege\/files\/2022\/05\/Virtual-Field-Trip-7-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/holdrege\/files\/2022\/05\/Virtual-Field-Trip-7-1536x865.png 1536w, https:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/holdrege\/files\/2022\/05\/Virtual-Field-Trip-7-150x85.png 150w, https:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/holdrege\/files\/2022\/05\/Virtual-Field-Trip-7.png 1640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A newly named National Geographic Emerging Explorer, Grace spent the summer working with NASA&#8217;s Frontier Development Lab creating 3D models of asteroids.
