The Northern Virginia STEM Network began in 2007 as an informal network of CTE and other STEM educators with a focus on growing our own future workforce in Northern Virginia. Many years later in 2021 we were integrated with the DMV (District, Maryland, Virginia) STEM Learning Ecosystem led by our long-term collaborators at Morgan State University and continued through multiple extensions of their DSEC grant.
When that DSEC funding ended in 2024 we were encouraged by our supporters at T.I.E.S. to go big for national recognitions. Accordingly, we've "re-branded" as NoVaWISE (Northern Virginia Workforce Innovations through STEM Education). We are currently looking for highly engaged leaders in technical industries, public school leadership, after-school and out-of-school innovators, and workforce development specialists.
Virginia Tech is supporting the design of a new website. Until then you can still catch us here at www.NoVaSTEM.net or NoVaSTEM.blogspot.com.
Contact Jim Egenrieder (JimE@vt.edu) or Courtney Kissell (CKissell@vt.edu) to get involved.
