The Seaworthy STEM™ in a Box curricula was developed through collaborative efforts of a team of individuals at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division and Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellows via an inter-agency agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy for the Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship (AEF) Program. We are grateful to the following Content Specialists who contributed their knowledge and expertise by researching and writing on selected topics: Suzanne Otto, Stephanie Klixbull, and Thomas Jenkins. We’d also like to acknowledge the contributions of AEF participant Ms. Deborah Reynolds, the inaugural AEF Educator at Carderock that helped inspire the design of Seaworthy STEM™ in a Box content. With the help of Albert Einstein Fellow, Melissa Thompson, and Carderock Outreach Specialist, Ashlee Floyd, special additions to the curriculum such as career portfolios, workforce trading cards, and in-house short story publications are included that reflect the diversity of NAVSEA Sites.
It is the goal of the SeaWorthy Curriculum to embrace NAVSEA technologies from sites nationwide to empower the youth of our nation to purse STEM-centric career pathways.
