The Science Communication Fellowship immerses educators in the Nautilus team as communicators for exploration and empowers them to bring the excitement of ocean exploration - specifically in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) - to students and public audiences around the world. Fellows share accounts of ocean research, expedition operations, STEAM careers, and daily life with audiences of all ages through live audio commentary on the Nautilus Live website and through outreach to classrooms and communities via ship-to-shore live interactions.

We use the term educator with a broad definition. Applicants can include formal or informal educators at all levels including - public or private school K-12 teachers, community or youth-service non-profit educators, museum or aquarium interpreters, traditional storytellers, writers, artists, etc. Educators of any discipline may apply. Consider how you would use participation in this program to share career role modeling and ocean exploration experiences with students and/or the broader community.

Applications for the 2026 Science Communication Fellowship are now open! The application link, eligibility requirements, and helpful information are found in teh Application Packet. New Deadline: December 1, 2025
