Surfing STEM with ScienceWorks!

Surfing Data

Did you know there are many aspects of the Army and Navy that use science, math, and engineering to develop new technologies? We explore some really fun careers with the military that don’t involve missiles.

See what it’s like to have a college class in the ocean. Meet the ocean engineering professor who asks students to collect data on hydrodynamic drag while surfing for science.

This STEM video is brought to you free by KnowAtom in partnership with our co-developers Award Productions. We co-developed this series called ScienceWorks! as a Discovery's Science Channel focused on how STEM works all around us! We’re offering you the video here free as a resource you may want to use in the classroom.

We’re considering adding a base of 5-7 minute high quality STEM career videos to our interactive curriculum resources and we’d like your feedback on the idea.

Please consider sending us your feedback in this quick 6 question anonymous survey.

“Growing up, I wanted to be an inventor, solving problems that would help people have better lives. Every day at KnowAtom is an opportunity to invent solutions that give thousands of students and teachers a better experience doing science, engineering, technology, and math (STEM). Providing educators with professional satisfaction and students with the opportunity to understand the world we live in is my way of helping people have better lives.”
