1. BELVOIR CHAPTER CHAPTER - Jun 07, 2013
YOUNG AFCEANS ADVOCATE FOR STEM EDUCATION
In June, the chapter’s Young AFCEANs participated in a Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics (STEM) Career Day Program hosted by Walt Whitman Middle School in
Alexandria, Virginia. The Young AFCEANs presented 20-minute STEM presentations to students
with the purpose of enlightening the students about the significance of math, technology,
science and engineering and how it plays a prominent role in all career fields. “The earlier
students learn and master these skills [STEM], the greater the chances of college acceptance,
job security and innovation,” stated Ashley Becker, chapter vice president, small business. In
the past four years, the chapter has been recognized for supporting schools in their surrounding
communities in the form of grants, scholarships and technology equipment to support
educational growth in the STEM programs. “Many students at that particular age have to be
sparked in the area of science and mathematics, whether it is a cool volcano experiment or 3D
printer and AFCEA can provide the means to get that spark,” commented Daniel Shaer, chapter
vice president, Young AFCEANs.
