Flat Stanley Finds a Sweet Ride
Episode 8
Saturday, 14 March, 2026
Season 4 of the Educational Passages Podcast continues with our “Imagine This” series — where the stories behind our miniboats reveal something even deeper than ocean currents and GPS tracks.Each episode invites you to step into a moment of possibility — to feel the anticipation, the uncertainty, and the extraordinary connections that unfold when students send something small into a very big ocean.Now press play, close your eyes, and imagine this:A classroom on Peaks Island, Maine builds a miniboat called P.I.E. on the Tide and fills its cargo hold with dozens of Flat Stanleys — tiny paper travelers ready for adventure. The boat sails into a quiet cove in Newfoundland, where it’s discovered by a crew working on the water and eventually delivered to a nearby school. What happens next is a coincidence so perfect it feels almost scripted. In Flat Stanley Finds a Sweet Ride, we share the story of how a simple classroom tradition, a student-built boat, and a little help from the ocean came together to create one very sweet connection across the sea.Read more and see what happens next; https://educationalpassages.org/boats/pieonthetide/Support the showEducational Passages is a non-profit organization that seeks to connect people around the world to the ocean and each other through unique global experiences.
