The NESS Mobile Classroom

Beep Beep! We're proud to introduce The NESS Mobile Classroom - a dynamic, mobile STEM education platform bringing ocean-based experiential learning to your community.

Making Learning Mobile, Inclusive, & Engaging

Powered by the City of New London

Designed to reach students and families where they are, the NESS Mobile Classroom delivers hands-on learning in marine science, adventure education, and environmental stewardship throughout New London County. Whether we’re parked outside a school, library, park, or community center, our goal is to spark curiosity and inspire lifelong learners through immersive, high-quality educational experiences.

“This is more than a classroom on wheels...it’s a bridge to opportunity. We're making science engaging, accessible, and mobile, reaching learners who might not otherwise have access to these types of experiences.”
Spike Lobdell
NESS Founder & CEO

Breaking Barriers to Education

By going mobile, NESS removes geographic and socioeconomic barriers to STEM education. The Mobile Classroom ensures all learners have access to the tools, technology, and engaging instruction they need to succeed.

Inside the Classroom on Wheels

Outfitted with state-of-the-art learning tools - including a smartboard, microscopes, whiteboard workstations, and a wash station with running water - NESS's Mobile Classroom is ready to roll into any community and ignite a passion for learning.

Join NESS on the Road to Discovery

Together with the City of New London, NESS is empowering students with ocean-based experiential education. We're not waiting for students to come to us; we're bringing the classroom to them.

“NESS continues to be a vital partner in serving New London’s youth and helping them build brighter futures through meaningful, hands-on learning. The City of New London is proud to support the launch of NESS’s Mobile Classroom. This innovative platform strengthens our shared commitment to educational access and opportunity.”
Michael E. Passero
Mayor of the City of New London

The NESS Mobile Classroom Hits the Road!

We had a blast introducing  the NESS Mobile Classroom to our New London Partners at our Ocean Beach Classroom and to the community at the Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting Celebration of the New London Community and Recreation Center!

The NESS Mobile Classroom is now officially on the road and ready to roll into schools, community centers, and public events to bring hands-on ocean learning directly to the heart of the community.

With this mobile hub of experiential marine science, adventure sports, and sailing education, we're expanding access to ocean-based learning for all.
