On August 7th, 2019 growingSTEMS entered into an educational partnership agreement with Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD). This agreement formalizes the existing relationship and increases the opportunities available for future collaboration.
NAWCAD is a subordinate command of the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). With more than 13,000 scientists, engineers, and test professionals across four sites. NAWCAD conducts research, development, test, and evaluation activities that support Navy and Marine Corp air vehicles and support systems. By providing technical support to NAVAIR, NAWCAD has a tremendously positive impact on the safety and mission effectives of our aviators and sailors who support the naval aviation mission.
