EDUCATION & PROGRAMMING num’s educational programming continued to grow in both quantity and quality in 2015. The education department developed new programs and refined existing favorites to create exceptional learning experiences. With new fourth grade workshops for Navy stem Days and advanced Summer steam and Science Saturday initiatives, we’re solidifying our position as a leader in steam (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) programming. NAVY STEM DAYS Navy stem Days is a collaborative partnership between num, the Puget Sound Navy Museum, the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Keyport. The program brings eight local classrooms (grades 4–6) to the museum each month for all-day stem-based learning and activities. In just its second year of execution — with a doubled schedule — requests for the elementary school-level stem experience has soared to a full 2015 calendar plus a year-long wait list! stem Days is aligned with Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards. Over 1,175 students have taken part in 2015’s eight stem Days.
