1/13 Roundtable - STEM in Scouting
What relationship does BSA have with STEM? Are there any STEM-focused activities within BSA? It is well known that fostering a vital STEM education is our best opportunity to boost the spirit of innovation and ensure our youth and this country continues on a prosperous and secure journey. To learn more about this, come out to our January meeting to learn about how to promote STEM through the Nova award program and the SuperNova Award program. Vanji Sivajothy will share his experience on the Nova program as well as what your unit can do to get more involved in this important part of our future.
