On behalf of Florida A&M University and the STEM Day Planning Committee, I want to thank the many students, faculty, staff, sponsors, and supporters who helped make STEM Day 2022 a phenomenal success. This annual event is one of the University’s signature STEM outreach initiatives. STEM Day 2022 included 398 middle and high school students, 46 parents, 18 invited speakers from industry and academia, 42 FAMU faculty members, and 4 national laboratories. We were also very fortunate to receive generous financial support and donations from 20 sponsors, which allowed materials, supplies, giveaways, and food to be provided to the participants.
During the day, students had an opportunity to engage in hands-on problem-solving activities in STEM disciplines and listen to engaging presentations from several invited speakers. Participants also visited the Science Expo, where they received information about FAMU’s academic programs and STEM initiatives. The day was met with a high level of excitement from program participants. We look forward to your continued support and collaboration as we continue our ongoing efforts to enhance and expand the STEM Day initiative.
