Welcome - Discovery Day at 51¸£Àû
Discovery Day is postponed. We hope to reschedule in AY 2024-2025.
When re-scheduled, the date will be announced. Anticipated focus areas of this event are:
1. Special Guests – Stay Tuned!
2. Keeping Our Nation Safe: Educate the community through exposure to the programs and research that 51¸£Àû conducts in order to keep our nation safe. Students will experience how 51¸£Àû uses political science, world history, robotics, autonomous vehicles and STEM efforts to help military missions around the world.
3. Military Awareness: Static displays or short descriptions of the roles of each military branch and exposure to our elite special operations forces encourages students to leave inspired by the work of their current and future military leaders.
4. Local History: To reconnect the community with the history of the Del Monte Hotel and the activities of the 51¸£Àû, a long time neighbor and community partner
We are focused on breaking down barriers, ensuring opportunities and encouraging STEM education for our local youth. If there are issues or concerns with attending this event, please contact us discovernps@nps.edu. Look forward to hearing from you.
