STEM Education and Outreach
Abstract
STEM Education and Outreach fosters activities to support and cultivate STEM talent with minds for innovation, diversity of thought, and the technical agility to sustain the Department’s competitive edge. In order to build a necessary workforce that brings in an expansion of ideas to solve national defense needs and challenges, the DoD recognizes the need for increased participation of underserved groups in STEM activities and education programs. Investments are made to promote participation in national-level STEM programs and initiatives and provide authentic hands-on experiences for students and teachers across the globe. STEM Education and Outreach manages activities, in support of the Department’s STEM Strategic Plan, to assist in attracting, inspiring, and developing exceptional STEM talent across the education continuum that include internships, robotics and math competitions, and mentorships through partnerships with industry. STEM Education and Outreach develops and maintains systems and standards to support its programs, implementing the DoD STEM Communications Strategy and collaborating across the Federal government and public domain through interagency and intra-departmental working groups and partnerships.
