WORCESTER INNOVATION MONTH!
Stay tuned for Innovation Month 2010
March 2009 was Innovation Month in the Worcester Public Schools. In an effort to raise awareness of the many Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)–related job opportunities in Central Massachusetts, the public schools, higher education, employers, nonprofit organizations and the Central MA STEM Network joined forces to bring the world of work to all 7th graders in the Worcester Public Schools. During the month of March, students worked with STEM professionals in the classroom, at competitions, at conferences and at demonstrations to explore firsthand what it means to work in a STEM career.
