(SOLD OUT) USS Hornet STEM Field Trip

The STEM to Stern Program allows students to see how science, technology, engineering, and mathematics apply to the operational functions of a World War II aircraft carrier. The historic surroundings of USS offer a one-of-a-kind learning environment for exploring these concepts by giving students perspective on modern technology by offering a comparison to the past.Hornet

Students can investigate how thermodynamics and electromagnetism allowed the USS to use seawater to power the ship while cruising the ocean. They can learn how waves are used to track objects and communicate on board as well as between ships and aircraft. They can also see how hydraulics and simple machines, wind, and the ship itself helped launch a 19,000-lb jet off the flight deck, as well as how pilots and sailors use vector mathematics to plot a course.Hornet
