Message from Dr. Reagan Flowers
We’ve Got Work to Do
As a nation, we are making strides in STEM education, but there is still more work to be done. In the last decade, two million STEM jobs have been created in the United States. Which means there are two million new opportunities to bring about needed change in the world. It would be ideal if math and science scores of U.S. students was also on the rise, not falling short.

This Month’s Highlights
Welcome Aboard!
We are pleased to announce that Hamane Edwards has been selected as the new Program Director for C-STEM beginning January 6, 2020. In the 4th grade, Hamane was introduced to robotics through the C-STEM Challenge competition and later to Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in high school. As a student at the University of Maryland, he interned at C-STEM and completed his undergraduate degree in Geographical Information Science. Upon completing college, Hamane began his professional career as a teacher and tutor in Prince George’s County Public Schools. We can think of no one better, than an Alum, to lead programming at C-STEM!
