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.
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, but can include multiple classrooms or virtual logins.
Ship-to-shore interaction scheduling will begin in May 2026, with the 2026 expedition season launching in June! We look forward to connecting with your learners soon.
