Over the course of several hours, more than 100 attendees, including dozens of state legislative representatives, visited the presenting organizations to learn about the many STEM initiatives going on around the state.
“New Jersey STEM Month and this STEM fair are all efforts to increase the engagement of policymakers, STEM stakeholders and the general public in building capacity in STEM education and overall innovation in the state,” said Kim Case, executive director of the Research & Development Council of New Jersey and manager of the New Jersey STEM Pathways Network.
