Hey readers,
It’s Owlkids’ intern Katie here!
You’ve probably heard of the Titanic, the “unsinkable” ship that sank in 1912. It went down after colliding with an iceberg on its very first voyage and was lost somewhere on the ocean floor.
It was an amazing discovery when underwater archaeology expert Dr. Robert Ballard finally found the Titanic on September 1st, 1985. This was the first time anyone had seen the now-legendary ocean liner in the 73 years since it sank. All those years, it had been sitting at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland.
It’s been about 103 years since the Titanic was lost at sea. But today—September 1st, 2015—is the 30th anniversary of its groundbreaking discovery.
We here at Owlkids wanted to do something special to mark the occasion, so we’ve decided to give away a copy of SOS! Titanic! to one lucky OWL reader.
In SOS! Titanic!, friends Emily and Matt are magically transported back to the doomed ship the day before it sinks. Can the two friends convince Captain Smith to turn the Titanic around or change its course? Can they help their new friend Maddy and her aunt survive the disaster? Is the “unsinkable” ship going to sink no matter what they do or say?
To enter the giveaway, tell us why you would like a copy of SOS! Titanic!

Today’s blog post is brought to you by our fabulous intern, Katie King!
In our September issue, we helped you imagine what schools could be like 20 years from now. Hoverboards, flying toy robots, solar-powered modular classrooms—there are so many cool ways technology can help us to learn better in the future.
These ideas came from technology expert Adrian Bulzacki, founder of ARB Labs Inc., who you can see hard at work in the video below.
Thanks for sharing with us, Adrian!
Which futuristic technology do you wish your school could have today?

Today’s blog post was written by our new intern Katie King! Take it away, Katie.
Hi readers,
You read about the award-winning robotics team SWAT 771 in our September issue. This all-girls team built a robot from scratch, and now it can stack massive crates all on its own!
Check out the video about SWAT 771 below.
SWAT 771 did all the brainstorming, building, and testing for their robot—and then they won the Engineering Inspiration Award at the 2015 FIRST Robotics World competition!
If you’ve done a cool project lately, tell us all about it at owl@owlkids.com. You could be featured in a future issue of OWL!
Bye for now.
-Katie
