In addressing the clearly articulated national need of providing education and workforce development within the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields, Capitol College recently established the Center for Space Science Education and Public Outreach. Working in cooperation with the college's Space Operations Institute (SOI), the Center provides hands-on educational opportunities for future leaders in the STEM and aerospace fields utilizing space science, astronomy, and leadership development. Targeting the K-12, community college and college students, and those who support them in achieving leadership careers in STEM fields, the Center's programs are to:
1. Provide hands-on educational experiences to both introduce and continue to expand interest in STEM fields as a possible career for: middle school, high school, community college and college students.
2. Provide leadership development opportunities to enable the students to be the future leaders within the STEM fields.
3. Support the dissemination of information regarding STEM workforce and leadership opportunities.
This presentation provides an introduction to the Center, the SOI and our EPO activities working with middle schools and high schools in the state of Maryland.
