HIGH VELOCITY LEARNING Applying the best concepts, techniques, and tools to accelerate learning as individuals and families, the museum’s educational programming explores the knowledge and technology that enable the U.S. Navy's presence undersea. The programs inspire participants to explore the scientific, technological, engineering, art, and mathematical (STEAM) principles that form the foundation of the Navy’s daily operations. Participation in the museum’s programs and exhibits fosters an interest in and understanding of STEM principles that can influence a student’s career choices and encourage a lifetime of learning. NAVY STEM DAYS Navy STEM Days is an educational program resulting from collaboration between the museum, the Puget Sound Navy Museum (PSNM), the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS & IMF), and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Keyport (NUWC Keyport). In its fifth year, the program brought 1,860 local 4th through 6th graders to the museum to participate in STEM-based activities that align with Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards. SUMMER STEAM AND SCIENCE SATURDAYS With families working together to solve challenges and explore new concepts, the Summer STEAM program keeps students engaged in STEAM throughout the summer months. Science Saturdays take place during the school year, delivering interactive ways of discovering technology and putting lessons learned at school to use in the real world. These free public programs engaged more than 2,000 people over the course of 16 events in 2018. 5
