“Astronaut Leland Melvin wants young people to believe in themselves — and in the power of science, technology, engineering and math, aka STEM.
In December, Melvin spoke to more than 100 middle and high school students gathered at Virginia Commonwealth University for the Student Innovation Series CS Showcase, an event where student teams presented technology-based solutions to real-world business and consumer problems. The event was part of a three-year grant awarded to the VCU School of Education Center for Innovation in STEM Education.”
