There's
nothing more effective when informing
children, families and educators about
endangered species than having the
animal available at the event. Since it
would be virtually impossible to
accomplish this feat with a live whale,
a life-size sealed inflatable replica
was a very convincing stand-in.
The
Delaware AeroSpace Education
Foundation's (DASEF) mission is to
inspire and educate the people of the
Delaware Valley in the areas of math,
science, technology and aerospace
through the use of their academies,
presentations, symposiums, professional
development, events and activities.
Landmark was proud to take part.
Wilmer the Right Whale has been used at
workshops, academies and family days
with big plans for other appearances in
the future. According to Stephanie
Wright, "In the coming months and
years, Wilmer will be used in numerous
educational events, workshops and
activities. He is easy to store and
inflate. DASEF is very pleased with
Wilmer! As far as additional
instructional opportunities, the ocean
and beyond are our inspiration and
motivation for how Wilmer will be used."
