A teacher’s passion for science leads to an inspiring ocean expedition
A high school teacher from the Navajo Nation is part of a science expedition that includes real-time education connections to students while she is aboard a ship in the Pacific Ocean.
Kim Etsitty (Diné) is a science communication fellow aboard the Nautilus for an 11-day deep-ocean exploration of the Palau National Marine Sanctuary in the island country of Palau. During the expedition she’ll check in with students back home about the work she’s doing and the value of science education.
Join Native America Calling to hear from Etsitty about the works she’s doing on the Nautilus and her passion for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education.
