John Fletcher, a high school student at Northwest High School in Germantown, Md., speaks about experience as a Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program (SEAP) intern at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division's Center for Innovation in Ship Design. SEAP provides an opportunity for high school students to participate in research at a Department of Navy laboratory during eight weeks over the summer. Carderock fosters a fun, one-of-a-kind work atmosphere where brilliant minds can flourish and push the limits of the possible. Carderock also houses some of the nation's most advanced facilities for research, development, testing, and evaluation. These resources, spread across its headquarters, sites and detachments, give the Navy a clear edge in creating the next generation of surface ships and submarines. (U.S. Navy video by Kristin Behrle)
