DoD STEM Outreach Office Sponsors Esports in NJ

The program is being sponsored by the Department of Defense STEM Outreach Office at Picatinny Arsenal in Wharton, NJ. "We wanted to support summer learning, and since DimensionU's games align with New Jersey's standards, they were perfect," said Steven Hoy, CEO of DimensionU, in a press release. "When schools had to transition to distance learning during COVID-19, it created achievement gaps. And since in-person enrichment activities aren't being held this summer, these games will help keep those gaps from widening."

STEM Civics

The STEM and civics focus provide a unique formula to inspire students to excel academically and to understand the tenets of productive citizenship. Throughout our country's history, understanding the benefits of STEM-related concepts has improved the quality of life of citizens. For example, understanding the importance of wearing seat belts in cars and recognizing the dangers of smoking were necessary but not sufficient to improve, if not lengthen, lives. It took the democratic process, which led to the enacting of laws and regulations, to underscore the importance of taking action once knowing the results of the scientific research.
