Marianas Chapter

In our 4th year since re-forming, Marianas Chapter continues to invest in STEM educational initiatives with K-12 STEM Grants and College Scholarships. In 2011, the Chapter raised the ante and doubled the number of STEM Grants provided to local K-12 teachers. Eight grants awarded at $1,000 each were presented directly to teachers invigorating local science, engineering and technology programs in classrooms across the island.  To say thanks and share their successes with AFCEA sponsors, the teachers who were awarded grants in 2010 shared their results in presentations which were shown in the vendor area during our April 2011 TechNet.
