Attract, foster, and cultivate outstanding STEM talent throughout the education continuum to enrich NAVSEA's future workforce capability to meet defense technological challenges.
Educational Programs
Educational program activities span from early elementary school science labs through university graduate-level-directed research, providing students a continuous thread of STEM experiences. Students work side-by-side with engineers, scientists and technicians on a variety of challenging, hands-on activities-which not only reinforce the basics tenets of engineering and physics, but also show students the importance of these principles in the work the Navy does every day.For K-12 audiences, hands-on learning experiences are emphasized to encourage students and teachers to "learn by doing." This encouragement comes in a variety of forms, including field trips; educational partnership agreements; participation in expos and festivals; sponsorship of workshops, summer camps, and teacher trainings; support of STEM competitions; and sharing educational resources for students and teachers.
