History

The third STEM Journey event consists of the following: enthusiastic volunteers, keynote speakers, hands on science demonstrations and earning scouting badges.

Our first event was on: March 29, 2014: Space Lab to Zero G” and we attracted more than 750 people (http://www.nesacs.org/pub_nucleus/2014/Dec14.pdf)  .  The second event on March 28, 2015 was on Oceanography- Great White Sharks to Deep Ocean Exploration. It is described in (http://nesacs.org/section_act/STEM/2015/STEMJourneyII_715a.pdf).   This is a free event at Cape Cod Community College. In 2015, we had more than 1100 visitors, 100 volunteers, 30 organizations and 500 people who signed up to listen to our keynote speakers.  All of this on a snowy day in March. This event was described in the Dec. 2015 issue of the Nucleus.  http://nesacs.org/pub_nucleus/2015/Dec15NUCLEUS.pdf .

We did get TV (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeLRGsB7xYU ), radio and Cape Cod Times coverage for this event (http://www.capecodtimes.com/article/20150329/NEWS/150329409/0/SEARCH ) which is the largest STEM event on the south Shore.

Next year (April 2, 2016), our theme will be Transportation and the title is “STEM Journey III: Transportation: Air, Ground and Sea”. One of our Keynote speakers will be discussing Autonomous Vehicles. We do expect to have 50 organizations, 150 volunteers and 1,500 visitors on April 2, 2016.

 Mission Statement

The STEM Journey program was organized in 2014 by the Cape Cod Council of the Boy Scouts of America, the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society and Cape Cod Community College to provide a stimulus and introduction to the sciences for K-12 students from the Cape and Islands. We feel that the US needs to improve science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education to remain competitive with the rest of the world. This will not be truly effective unless we inspire young students through programs like STEM Journey.
