Provided enough to sponsor three schools. This year funding
was provided by the chapter and we're now up to 6 schools
with plans for expanding. Contents are supplies for rockets,
lesson plans and detailed DVDs. It is a 4-day lesson plan and
YAC teams will go to schools to observe final launch. Works
out to be about $8 per box with a very flexible lesson plan
included. Schools have tailored the program to coincide with
their lesson plans as well. They have also expanded upon the
included plan with videos and other media. Gets kids hands on
experience in a science based activity, provides excitement

Targeting Minorities & Women with STEM Support by Montgomery Chapter
Joe Besselman, President of the Montgomery Chapter, suggested
that AFCEA steer its sponsorship of STEM money to minorities
and women ¿ a niche in the larger world issue of STEM
necessities. In the Montgomery area, STEM teachers teach
predominantly minorities; and there are robotics programs in
the four surrounding counties with high minority populations.
The chapter also gives scholarships to particular minorities
studying engineering at nearby universities.
