Australian billionaires are not the only ones interested in rebuilding the famous ocean liner, RMS Titanic. Last week, Brandon Stacey finished an individualized project of designing and building a model of the luxury ocean liner from recycled materials. Brandon is a 6th grade student at Children Are People, Inc. a non-profit after school program in Gallatin, TN.
Brandon developed a fascination with the story of the Titanic after seeing his cousin perform in the Circle Players 100 year celebration performance at TPAC in 2012. After seeing Brandon’s passion for the subject, an individualized project was developed for him that incorporated reading, history, science, mathematics, physics, current events and art all centered around the topic of the RMS Titanic.
When asked about the Australian Titanic II project, Brandon replied, “I sure hope they learn from the first Titanic’s mistakes!” One thing is certain, Brandon Stacey sure has!
