This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) totaling $999,390 aims to engage undergraduate and graduate students in experiential learning opportunities focused on digital twin (DT) technologies for the blue economy. Awarded to the University of Maine System, the project will directly benefit 48 students by providing internships, workshops, and career support to prepare a capable DT workforce that can strengthen national capacity in blue economy technologies. The project addresses barriers such as limited access to DT test beds, lack of early career pathways, and financial obstacles to student participation. Through a cross-sector partnership, the project will offer two internship pathways to connect students with hands-on DT applications in the blue economy sectors, which contributed $397 billion to the nation's GDP in 2019 and supported 2.4 million jobs.
