ALBANY — The Albany State University National Aeronautics and Space Administration Minority University Research and Education Project Aerospace Academy is hosting the second annual Virtual STEM Conference Wednesday and Thursday. The conference is free and provides an interactive opportunity for sixth- through 12th-grade students from Georgia school districts to learn about science, technology, engineering and mathematics career paths from real-life STEM professionals.
“The goal of the conference is to raise students’ aspirations in pursuing STEM careers,” STEM Conference Chair and ASU NASA MUREP Aerospace Academy Program Manager Kenton Meronard said in a news release. “We are excited to host the conference again this year after having such a successful inaugural conference. The responses from last year’s conference attendees were overwhelmingly positive and prompted our office to continue hosting the conference alongside our partners from NASA MAA and the Department of Education. We have added additional STEM panels and hands-on STEM activities.”
