The Niu
Submitted by pikapower1234 on Wed, 04/08/2009 - 3:25pmThe nius are really weird because over the break the purple was like ahead but the orange niu gain speed and then so now the orange niu is ahead of the purple niu and of course the yellow is always behind. I wonder who will be in the lead or travel more as time goes by.

Niu launch.
Submitted by hoshi_bun on Fri, 02/13/2009 - 9:09amOn friday, january 31st, 2009, a group of students our students from academy of the pacific went to a beach in hawaii kai to finally launch the niu. Periods 1 & 2 of Ms. costello's marine science went with kawananakoa middle school to view the launching. We met with the younger students at KMS and caught the bus there with them. It took a while to get there but we finally arrived. Alll the scientist and engineers, along with the other people who helped to make this happen, were there waiting for us.
2009 Project Niu Launch
Submitted by Josiah on Tue, 01/13/2009 - 8:00pmIn May of 2008, the first Niu device ventured bravely into the clear blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, a pioneer for a new type of education project. The Niu’s chances of success and ultimate destination were unknown, but after four months of continuous position reports, the Niu I signed off for the last time, some 1500 miles from home. The launch – and Niu I’s journey – were a stunning success, and Archinoetics engineers and scientists have set their sights even higher for the 2008-09 iteration.

Deployment Locations
Submitted by Evan on Mon, 09/15/2008 - 12:12pmAfter a succesful launch of the first Niu device from Waimea Bay in May 2008, we are now scouting possible locations for launching the next round of Niu devices. The students will ultimately make this decisions based on their research, but we would like to give them some information to help out.
Niu's Camera
Submitted by Evan on Wed, 09/03/2008 - 4:49pmThe new Niu ocean drifter devices that we will deploy this year will have a digital camera! The camera will have a fish-eye lens, so it will provide a really cool, wide field-of-view. Because of the optics of this type of lens, most of the focus will be on objects close to the camera. What do YOU think will show up in the photos that Niu takes? Can you think of any creative projects that we can do with all those photos?
