Ocean Exploration Trust and E/V Nautilus educational initiatives have connected global learners of all ages with deep sea exploration, science, and technology. Since 2010, notable highlights in our education and outreach programs include:

Ship-to-Shore Interactions hosted over 6,000 live connections reaching over 651,000+ learners in classrooms, science centers, and communities around the world.

Science & Engineering Internships at-sea workforce training for 160 community college, undergraduate, and graduate students studying ocean science, engineering, video, and seafloor mapping.

Science Communication Fellowship embedded 157 formal and informal educators as STEM expedition communicators and storytellers in our team.

Professional Development Workshops trained 600+ educators with inquiry-driven resources to connect K-12 content with real-world research, exploration, and STEM careers.

Corps of Exploration expanded role model mentors to include 1500+ scientists, engineers, educators, students, and mariners. 

Public outreach answered 20,000+ questions last year through the Nautilus livestream question feed.

Expanding STEM representation 70% of 2020 at-sea education program positions awarded to women. 45% of 2020 Science & Engineering interns identify from historically-excluded communities in STEM.
