STEM Educators on Curriculum

Lisette Diehl, Technology Academy coordinator, and Dr. James Barger, Engineering Department Chair, from the Landstown High School Governors STEM and Technology Academy in Virginia Beach, Virginia, spoke to the December luncheon. They spoke to the cutting-edge curriculum especially designed for students with a deep interest in and talent for engineering, marketing and information technology. The innovative learning environment provides students the added advantage of combining academic and technical training that will prepare them for a variety of post-graduation choices. They also addressed the assembled science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) teachers and encouraged them to continue to push their students to think creatively and assist in building our next work force.
