Science and Engineering Apreticeship Prgram
The Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program (SEAP) places high school students in Department of Navy (DoN) laboratories where they take part in real Naval research for eight weeks during the summer.
SEAP gives academically talented sophomores, juniors, and seniors interested in STEM the opportunity to learn about Naval research and technology while receiving first-class mentoring by top scientists and engineers.
SEAP is a competitive program with around 300 placements in more than 38 laboratories around the country in which many participants go on to careers within the DoN. Interns are selected based upon academic achievement, personal statements, recommendations, and career and research interests.
I participated in the SEAP program during the summer of 2024 and I hopefully expect to continue it duing the summer of 2025. This internship was a payed internship were I worked 40 hours a week Monday to Friday
This internship had me working with the DoD on Pax Putuxant Naval Air Station. I was apart of the Air Vehicles department, were I worked for the Store Seperation Branch specifically in the experiemntal wind tunnel. We would perform airodynamic tests on things such as model explosives, airplanes or even boats.

This slide show sum up what I did during the 3 months that I was interning here.
This is a reccomendation letter from my boss the Senoir Expeiremental Analyst of the wind tunnel.
