NW Fla. STEM events

PANAMA CITY, Fla. – Northwest Florida students will get an up-close STEM-related experience during an April 28 collaboration with Navy engineers from Naval Surface Warfare Center, Florida State University-Panama City and Gulf Coast State College. The trio of entities are partnering for the Invention Convention and STEM Open House where students and budding scientists can gather to learn about STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) careers. “It’s to establish a link for those students during high school to see that they have a way to get to work at the Navy base in a lab,” Gulf Coast unmanned vehicle system program coordinator Jose “Tony” Lopez-Baquero, an event collaborator, said. The free-to-attend events are from 1-4 p.m. at Gulf Coast State College and FSU-Panama City. (Source: Panama City News Herald 04/16/18)
