The John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory will hold its second annual Parent STEMpowerment Workshop from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday, November 24, 2013 at the Kossiakoff Center on its Laurel campus, 11100 John Hopkins Road.
The free workshop is designed to assist the parents of elementary and middle school students in preparing their children to explore careers focused in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, according to the release. “Parents are a critical part of the STEM equation, but they’re often forgotten or left out of STEM initiatives that focus mainly on the student or teacher,” Dwight Carr, APL STEM program manager, said in the release. “That’s why the Applied Physics Laboratory looks hard for unique ways to inform and support parents as well as students and teachers. The event was very successful last year and we hope to empower even more parents this year.” Online registration is recommended, at http://www.jhuapl.edu/STEM/psw/registration.aspx. The APL will also offer Spanish translation services for Spanish-speaking attendees. |
