Calling All Knoxville STEM Companies
On February 15, 2010, the Knoxville Chamber is partnering with The Knox County Schools to provide a STEM (science, technology, engineering or math) employer experience to all middle and high school math and science teachers in Knox County Schools.
This effort will allow 500 teachers to learn what skills are needed as a STEM professional and how to apply the concepts they are teaching in daily classroom lessons. This is an incredible opportunity for these teachers to learn directly from you and we hope you will participate by allowing as many teachers as you can to visit your offices, learn about your company, and shadow your employees that day.
If you are interested in participating, please fill out this form and send to Ahnna Estes at aestes@knoxvillechamber.com or mail to 17 Market Square #201, Knoxville, TN, 37902. For questions or comments, please call (865) 246-2658.
This program is being led by Vols4STEM, a collaborative effort involving several area organizations and individuals, including the Knoxville Chamber, Tennessee Society of Professional Engineers, Knox County Schools, Oak Ridge Economic Partnership, and Innovation Valley Inc. The mission of Vols4STEM is to facilitate collaboration among area STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) professionals and STEM educators and students, primarily through the Vols4STEM website, www.vols4stem.org.
