Techs on Decks

Step aboard for Techs on Decks, an annual celebration of sea, air, and space innovation. On the anniversary of the Apollo 12 Moon Landing, students will explore hands-on activities and meet the innovators shaping tomorrow’s technologies.

Techs on Decks celebrates Innovation. We celebrate the anniversary of the Apollo 12 Moon mission since the USS Hornet (CV 12) was the recovery ship for that mission and innovation from then and now! Exhibitors will be on hand to share exciting new technology and career opportunities aboard one of the Navy’s most historic ships! Our main sponsors from last year have re-committed, so we are pleased to announce we will have free entry for students and educators and free pizza and cookies!
