NOSB provides a forum for talented students to excel in science and math and introduces team members, their teachers, schools and communities to ocean sciences as an interdisciplinary field of study and a possible future career path. The program operates within a supportive ocean science learning community that involves the research community in pre-college education. Its focal point is a national competition that expands high school students' knowledge of the ocean and career pathways in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The program's goals are to: (1) cultivate environments which develop knowledgeable ocean stewards; (2) foster the use of the ocean as an interdisciplinary vehicle to teach science and mathematics; (3) reach out to and support the involvement of under-represented and geographically diverse communities in the ocean sciences; and (4) provide students with interactive education and career opportunities that develop critical thinking and workforce development skills.","Seward Association for the Advancement of Marine Science / Alaska SeaLife Center, Birch Aquarium at Scripps, Florida Atlantic University / Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, George Mason University / Center for Climate Change Communication (4C), Old Dominion University (ODU), Old Dominion University (ODU), Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium, San Francisco State University (SFSU) / Center for Science and Mathematics Education, University of South Florida / College of Marine Science (CMS), East Carolina University (ECU), NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, North Carolina State University (NCSU), Oregon State University (OSU) / College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Alaska (UA-Fairbanks) / College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, University of Colorado Boulder / Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), University of Hawaii at Manoa, University of Miami / Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS), University of New England (UNE) / Center for Excellence in the Marine Sciences (CEMS), University of New Hampshire (UNH), University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) / Institute of Marine Science, University of South Carolina (USC) / Belle W.
