NSWC Dahlgren Division Gifts STEM Materials to University of Mary Washington<\/strong><\/p>\n

FREDERICKSBURG, Va.\u00a0\u00a0\u2013\u00a0 <\/span>Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) is intent on supporting the STEM education goals set forth by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin. That was never more apparent than on Oct. 18 when NSWCDD officials donated nearly $30,000 worth of STEM equipment to the University of Mary Washington (UMW) to support the preparation of K-12 STEM educators and their students in the Fredericksburg region and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur partnership with the University of Mary Washington has had a tremendous impact on our ability to expand and maximize our STEM outreach and support the state\u2019s STEM education goals,\u201d NSWCDD Chief Technology Officer Jennifer Clift said. \u201cWith UMW\u2019s help, we are designing a game-changing STEM education program that places an emphasis on preparing future K-12 STEM educators and offering inspiring academic STEM opportunities for students across the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clift was on hand for the official presentation of the gifts at UMW\u2019s Seacobeck Hall.<\/p>\n

The donations to the newly furnished makerspace included tools that will help establish 3D printing capabilities, wide ranging options for robotics activities, and virtual reality opportunities.\u00a0 The equipment included Ozobot, Sphero, and Lego Spike Robotics kits, a Formlabs 3D printer with several other accessories to support 3D printing, a Glowforge laser cutter, and 17 Meta Quest 2 virtual reality headsets.<\/p>\n

UMW President Troy Paino said the gift from NSWCDD is going to \u201ctransform lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so pleased that we could donate this makerspace capability to UMW to provide hands-on opportunities for our local students, to get them excited about STEM and the career opportunities ahead of them,\u201d Clift said. \u201cWe value our partnership with UMW and look forward to doing great things for STEM education.\u201d<\/p>\n

NSWCDD Technical Director Dale Sisson, Jr., SES, said the partnership with UMW has never been stronger than it is now.<\/p>\n

Sisson said that Clift\u2019s office has been purposeful about strengthening the relationships between NSWCDD and schools in the surrounding area.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur entire Technology Office is doing things that we have never done before,\u201d Sisson said. \u201cWe are signing cooperative research and development agreements by the dozen. We\u2019re putting educational partnering agreements in place across the country, and this partnership represents one of our most important. We are proud to leverage the entirety of what the University of Mary Washington brings to the table.\u201d<\/p>\n

UMW Dean of the College of Education Pete Kelly also reflected on the partnership. Kelly said he\u2019s excited about the difference the gifts will make to UMW students who are training to become educators. He\u2019s also looking forward to assisting K-12 teachers in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to be a regional hub to help develop capacity for that work,\u201d Kelly said. \u201cOur K-12 teachers need help on that front and NSWCDD\u2019S gift is going to make a difference. We\u2019re already talking about having one of our STEM nights and inviting [NSWCDD officials] back because we want you to see these materials and supplies in action with our students and the difference that it is making.\u201d<\/p>\n

NSWCDD also partners with UMW\u2019s College of Education to host field trips that give students and teachers hands-on experience in STEM education, and feature collaborations in the arts and sciences across campus. Stafford and Spotsylvania County schools have visited this fall, and more trips are planned. In addition, the two organizations team up for the annual Innovation Challenge @ Dahlgren, a robotics competition for high school students. Registration is open now.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
