STEM resource compilations for West Virginia.

Abstract

First2 Network, NASA Educator Resource Center (ERC), WV Department of Education (WVDE), and WV Alliance for STEM and the Arts offer compilations of WV STEM resources that serve undergraduate and K12 students, parents, educators, industry, and other STEM stakeholders throughout WV.  Learn how to use and submit events to these resource compilations, and how they are connected.  First2 Network’s WV STEM Hub is a searchable online inventory of West Virginia STEM-related assets, resources and opportunities. The NASA ERC aims to spotlight NASA internships for high school and undergraduate students through the Careers in the Corridor event, and to add industry partners to the WV STEM Hub and WVDE STEM Ecosystem. The main objective is to help develop STEM career pipelines by providing early awareness career explorations for WV students. STEAM Trek is a free web-based, interactive game platform for WV students to explore STEAM content and resources available from organizations, institutions, and individuals from WV and beyond.  A new corridor in the game space is planned, to serve as a virtual Careers in the Corridor event continuously available to the public.
