  Whether you teach history, science or arts - Norfolk has the perfect program for you and your students. At Nauticus, The National Maritime Center, students can participate in interactive classes, view live shark displays, design their own battleship and make snap decisions from the bridge of a modern Aegis-class destroyer. The Hampton Roads Naval Museum and the Battleship Wisconsin provide educational programs about life at sea, underwater archaeology and World War II. Through a harbor cruise on the Spirit of Norfolk, students can hear tales about pirates, marine life and famous battles at sea. The one and a half hour educational cruise aboard the tall ship American Rover investigates the effects of wind, weather and the moon through hands-on activities and demonstrations. A trip to Norfolk would not be complete without a visit to the world's largest naval base and home of the Atlantic Fleet, Norfolk Naval Station.

   At first glance it might seem that the English explorer John Smith, Blackbeard the Pirate, President Abraham Lincoln, educator Booker T. Washington, and John Glen, Alan Shepard and American’s first astronauts—the Mercury Seven—have little in common. But ever since the first boatload of English tourists set foot on American soil in 1607, pausing at Strawberry Banks for some fresh fruit and dry land before sailing up river to find Jamestown, people in search of relaxation, water sports, and educational fun have visited Hampton. That connection, from exploring the New World to exploring space, gave birth to Hampton’s motto, "first from the sea, first to the stars."
