STEM Career and College Fair

Over the course of the year we have enjoyed the opportunity to implement the Nipmuc STEM Scholars Program, an initiative to expand the offerings available to students in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. Through the STEM Scholars Program we are providing our students with workplace readiness training, connections to colleges and universities, and job shadowing/internship experiences. These real world, authentic learning experiences complement the work students complete in our classrooms. 

As part of this program and our participation in WPI's "STEM for District Leaders" program, Nipmuc is providing a STEM Career and College Fair on Friday, January 24th to all of Nipmuc's students. At the fair we will welcome more than 30 representatives from STEM professions, universities, community groups, and organizations. These professionals and community members will meet with our students, answer their questions, and excite them about the potential of STEM. 

We encourage you to talk to your child about this fair and the opportunities provided there. We are excited to watch the STEM Scholars Program grow as we build upon the achievement in our classrooms and expand the programming at our school.
