Why Naval STEM?
Naval Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) supports the Department of the Navy (DoN)’s Navy and Marine Corps education and outreach programs. Naval STEM programs are deliberate investments in the current and future DoN workforce, which enhance the Navy and Marine Corps’ ability to meet present and future war-fighting challenges. The Naval STEM Strategy provides new strategic direction for Naval STEM.
The focus areas of Naval STEM programs include:
- To inspire, engage, and educate the next generation of scientists and engineers, technology professionals, and medical professionals.
- To employ, retain, and develop diverse civilian and military technical workforce.
- To collaborate across the Naval STEM communities and with other agencies to maximize benefits to the DoN.
