Ship-to-Shore Interactions
Bring the excitement of deep-sea exploration LIVE to your classroom, science center, museum, aquarium, or community event. Live ship-to-shore interactions with E/V Nautilus allow students to engage in a unique two-way, live dialogue with the educators, scientists, and engineers of the Corps of Exploration. Live interactions are available free to classroom and community event audiences. All live interactions are pre-scheduled to match your teaching schedule and on a first come first serve basis.
Ship-to-shore interactions are conducted via Zoom or Google Meet and last 30 minutes, with time for an expedition update and audience-led Q&A on careers, discoveries, or the exploration process. Interactions are not broadcast publicly to allow for a more personal connection with our science and engineering team. New for 2026, we are using an automated scheduling platform, but if you have any questions in the process please email kelly@oet.org.
