CT STEM Academy held a ribbons-cutting ceremony this week for a new location in South Meriden.

The facility is designed to provide a hub for youth programs focusing on science, technology, engineering and math.

Weekly programs are designed for students to explore topics like environmental science, astronomy, forensics, and gardening.

The Technical Assessment process CCAT conducted has allowed our organization to clearly identify the key points that will allow us to run more lean and efficient by highlighting improvement areas in our process.

Creating really great, hands-on activities takes time, so much more time than many teachers ever get. Kids like hands-on activities, and CCAT's activities are well thought out.

That's one of the great things about the program... there is a seamless integration; the teachers can put these pieces in the curriculum as they see fit. To excite veteran teachers tells me right away that this program is something of worth. They (CCAT) are good judges of what is good curriculum for our kids.

We look forward to the partnership with CCAT to help us meet the goals and objectives of the SOAR initiative and address the energy workforce needs of the state of Connecticut

Shelly Jewell, SOAR Project Director

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology not only provides the necessary steps toward securing America's energy future, but it also creates quality jobs in a new and expanding technological field.
