Pilot Program to Enhance the Preparation of Dependents of Members of the Armed Forces for Careers in STEM (Military Child Pilot Program)
Abstract
The Military Child Pilot Program was established by the FY 2015 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Section 233. The objectives are to enhance the preparation of dependents of members of the armed forces for careers in STEM and to provide assistance to STEM teachers at elementary or secondary schools at which a significant number of military dependents are enrolled. The Department’s methodology includes: (1) providing support to the National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI) program in collaboration with the DoD Education Activity (DoDEA) to expand the number of covered schools to support the national goal; and (2) coordinating with the DoD components, Federal and local government partners, and private sector organizations to compliment the NMSI program.
