Join Erika Bergman, National Geographic Young Explorer, submersible pilot, virtual reality engineer, and ocean explorer on a journey to the deep. She hopes to climb Mt. Everest and one day dive to Challenger Deep. In May of 2013 she was named a National Geographic Young Explorer and shared a series of manned submersible dives through real time video. Erika aims to inspire enthusiasm for ocean awareness using these exciting inner space vehicles. Weaving together her passions for submersible engineering, rich media storytelling, and outreach, she founded Global Engineering & Exploration Counselors (GEECs) to provide a network of engineering camps and mentorship to girls around the world.
