On Friday, Dame Cindy and Doctor Davies spent time with the 40 female senior secondary students attending this year's School-to-Seas Camp at Devonport Naval Base. Hundreds of girls apply for the week-long camp, which promotes STEM careers in marine industries as well as the RNZN, and culminates in team construction of underwater remote-operated-vehicles. Dame Cindy and Dr Davies were on hand to see the test runs in the pool and try out the controls themselves. They also visited a very realistic bridge simulator, where training is provided on navigating and steering a ship. The visit concluded with a quick trip back across the harbour in a Navy RHIB.
