Design Your Own Navy

Virtual shipbuilding technology from professional naval engineers

The Science Teacher—March 2019 (Volume 86, Issue 7)

By MICHAEL BRISCOE

High school students grew up online and in video games. FLEET is a free ship-design simulator that reaches students in their native environment—video games. It is also a physics simulator that applies content first learned through hands-on scientific investigations. Using FLEET, students design and use ships for various naval missions by mastering scientific concepts such as force, energy, and work, while employing an engineering design process.
