The event is organized by Fredtech, the Technology Council for the Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce. The free public event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Anderson Center.<\/p><p>Keynote speaker Jason Kring, an assistant professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, has previously been featured on TEDx talks on subjects such as building a home for space and searching for the ideal crew for manned mission to Mars. Kring is currently working on MEERS, Embry-Riddle&rsquo;s Mobile Extreme Environmental Research Lab. He received his doctorate in applied experimental and human factors psychology from the University of Central Florida.<\/p><p>The summit is the region&rsquo;s largest STEM event, connecting the region&rsquo;s educators, students, public officials and businesses. This year, the summit is expected to represent more than 40 secondary schools, the University of Mary Washington, Germanna Community College, and the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division in Dahlgren.<\/p><p>Keith Mellinger, professor of mathematics at UMW, sees the university as a key player in having students apply science in their future careers.<\/p><p>&ldquo;UMW is a recognized leader in developing the next generation of scientists,&rdquo; said Mellinger.&nbsp;&ldquo;Higher education plays a critical role in the pipeline from high school to the working world.&nbsp; UMW&rsquo;s involvement in the summit demonstrates its commitment to strengthening this pipeline.&rdquo;<\/p><p>The event is sponsored by UMW, SimVentions, WGRQ SuperHits 95.9, the Central Rappahannock Regional Library and Lockheed Martin.<\/p><p>For more information, to register or to purchase booth space, contact Sheri Wikert at <a href=\"mailto:sheri@fredericksburgchamber.org\"
