Deontrae M. - Thank you for the STEM Experience

Thank you for giving St. Benedict’s Prep students the opportunity to visit your prestigious institution through the STEM program.  The experience was very rewarding.  It brought a special feeling to me to experience the tradition of the Naval Academy.

This program gave us an opportunity to experience the process of engineering, architecture, programming, and mechanics.  The history of the Naval Academy was impressive.  I was surprised to learn that many of our current and past leaders had walked the halls of the Naval Academy and graduated from this prestigious institution.  It was an honor to be in the same company of people that protect our country.

The different types of technology and science were very interesting.  It was amazing to witness the different aspects of computer technology and the use of biometrics to find a criminal.  Technology is shaping our world, and understanding its use for a better tomorrow was interesting.

I am not a fan of the ocean.  However, learning about boats and what makes them float above water through the principle of buoyancy was impressive.  The Academy’s history is like no other school history, and the buildings are extraordinary.  I will recommend my fellow classmates to take this opportunity if granted to them to visit the Naval Academy through the STEM program.  It was very rewarding and I will treasure this experience.  Thank you for protecting our country, and giving this experience to St. Benedict’s students.

Sincerely,

Deontrae M.
