Oceans to Orbits Named A Best of STEM Award Winner

There’s no better way to get students excited about STEM than to give them the opportunity to experience it for themselves — and that’s exactly what Oceans to Orbits is doing.

Oceans to Orbits was recently recognized as a Best of STEM Award winner, an educator-selected honor celebrating outstanding products, services and programs in STEM education.

Through immersive campus expeditions at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and other STEM-focused destinations, Oceans to Orbits gives students opportunities to participate in hands-on activities, explore STEM in real-world settings and discover where their interests could take them.

Where STEM Meets Opportunity

For students wondering where an interest in STEM could take them, the possibilities at Embry-Riddle span from Earth to space and nearly everywhere in between.

Students can explore fields including aerospace and mechanical engineering, robotics, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, space physics, astronomy and aviation — along with the business and leadership skills that help turn innovation into impact.

Through undergraduate research, state-of-the-art labs and facilities, student design and competition teams, internships and industry partnerships, students can put what they learn into practice and explore how STEM intersects with careers across technology, aviation, aerospace, business and beyond.

Oceans to Orbits in Action

Oceans to Orbits recently welcomed 21 middle and high school students from Colombia for its first workshop in partnership with Embry-Riddle’s O'Maley College of Business.

Led by Dr. Maria Rickling, the “Netflix Now or Millions Later” workshop brought financial literacy to life through an interactive look at money, inflation, investing and the power of starting early. Students explored how everyday financial decisions can shape their futures while gaining exposure to the many ways business and economics connect with STEM.

The students were so engaged that many stayed after the workshop to ask Dr. Rickling questions — even delaying their departure for the next activity!
