Kinnick High School,
|
| 00:00:05 |
00:00:08 |
a Department of Defense
Education Activity school |
| 00:00:08 |
00:00:10 |
at Yokosuka Naval Base
|
| 00:00:10 |
00:00:13 |
is making a push
to increase competitiveness |
| 00:00:13 |
00:00:16 |
with international schools
in the fields of science, |
| 00:00:16 |
00:00:19 |
technology, engineering,
and mathematics education |
| 00:00:20 |
00:00:22 |
by offering a gaming technology
pilot course |
| 00:00:22 |
00:00:26 |
and an animation course.
Students recently visited |
| 00:00:26 |
00:00:29 |
Tactical Training Group
Pacific Detachment Yokosuka |
| 00:00:29 |
00:00:32 |
to witness war gaming
first hand. |

Robert Tiffany said their visit
gives the students a glimpse |
| 00:00:35 |
00:00:38 |
at what types of opportunities
they may have |
| 00:00:38 |
00:00:41 |
in a career in engineering
and technology. |
| 00:00:41 |
00:00:43 |
Today they were able to apply
|
| 00:00:43 |
00:00:46 |
what they've seen and done
in the classroom |
| 00:00:46 |
00:00:50 |
to actual simulations that the
military does on a routine basis. |
| 00:00:50 |
00:00:53 |
So hopefully
what we've shown them |
| 00:00:53 |
00:00:56 |
is what they're doing
by creating games, |
| 00:00:56 |
00:00:59 |
gaming is one piece of it,
but there's a bigger picture |
| 00:00:59 |
00:01:01 |
that they can get involved with
as well. |
| 00:01:01 |
00:01:05 |
We have four new projects.
We have the gaming technology |
| 00:01:05 |
00:01:06 |
which is going on
right now. |
| 00:01:06 |
00:01:10 |
We also are piloting
an engineering class |
| 00:01:10 |
00:01:12 |
which is a robotics class.
|
| 00:01:12 |
00:01:14 |
We're piloting green technology
|
| 00:01:14 |
00:01:19 |
and we're also piloting biotechnology
within the DoDEA schools. |
| 00:01:19 |
00:01:21 |
William Rossi said
high school students today |
| 00:01:22 |
00:01:27 |
will lead us into the next 20-30 years
of war game technology. |
| 00:01:27 |
00:01:31 |
We won war games and simulations
to train the ships |
| 00:01:31 |
00:01:33 |
of the forward deployed
naval force. |
| 00:01:33 |
00:01:36 |
I grew up playing games
like Pong and Defender, |
| 00:01:37 |
00:01:39 |
and as modeling and simulation
|
| 00:01:39 |
00:01:44 |
gets more prevalent
in Navy training, |
| 00:01:44 |
00:01:47 |
we're going to need
the next generation of experts |
| 00:01:47 |
00:01:49 |
in war gaming.
