“Navy’s Elite STEM Workforce” Virtual Field Trip takes high school students outside walls of the classroom with a once-in-a-lifetime look at Navy STEM in action, aboard the USS Nimitz

America’s Navy and Discovery Education have joined forces to expand access for high school students interested in cutting-edge, real-world applications of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in the 21st century with a first ever, Virtual Field Trip – Navy’s Elite STEM Workforce: Aboard the USS Nimitz. As part of the Navy STEM for the Classroom educational program, this exclusive event will broadcast LIVE from Naval Station Mayport in Jacksonville, Florida on Thursday, September 7 at 1:00 p.m. EDT, providing students an exclusive look into the lives of those who serve and defend, while living on one of the Navy’s most revered aircraft carriers ever built – the USS Nimitz. With spotlights on engineering, aviation, and flight operations, students will gain unique insights into a variety of Navy careers and authentic learning experiences.

“America’s Navy provides endless opportunities to develop leadership skills and to pursue a wide range of STEM-related careers paths,” says Captain David Bouve, national director of marketing and advertising at Navy Recruiting Command. “By 2020, more than 1 million STEM-related jobs will be added to the U.S. work force. And when it comes to careers in science, technology, engineering, and math, America’s Navy provides exceptional possibilities.”

Navy STEM for the Classroom helps to accelerate student achievement through educational development, while providing access to transformative digital resources that help students practice exciting and engaging new skills. Through a partnership with Discovery Education, Navy STEM for the Classroom offers unique, multi-platform online learning tools and immersive experiences – including a self-paced module, digital exploration, and career profile videos to educators and students nationwide. From understanding how the principles of physical oceanography and meteorology affect ocean navigation to the importance of gas laws as applied to deep ocean diving, each resource provides a unique look into the Navy`s innovative applications of STEM. Navy STEM for the Classroom even empowers students to explore these exciting possibilities through first-hand personal accounts.

“Discovery Education is honored to stand alongside America’s Navy to ensure that the next generation of our nation’s leadership and workforce are well-equipped to excel in the fields of STEM,” said Lori McFarling, senior vice-president and chief marketing officer, Discovery Education. “Accelerating student achievement in science, technology, engineering, and math, helps to ensure the vitality of a strong, promising future – one where our youth have the skills needed to tackle 21st century challenges with 21st century solutions.”

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
