Since the first three STEM Takes Flight (STF) faculty professional development workshops were so successful and impactful to participants, VSGC contributed personnel time and funding to support a third workshop in 2018. NASA Wallops hosted the workshop for Virginia’s community college faculty and also contributed significant personnel time and resources. The STF workshop is a 2.5-day professional development hands-on institute for 20 community college STEM faculty. This residential workshop focused on the integration of STEM in the NASA workplace and helping faculty in educating students on the importance of teamwork, technical skills, and problem solving. Briefings and tours highlighted the suborbital, orbital, and airborne missions and launches conducted at NASA Wallops and around the world. The importance of the collaborative work of engineers, scientists, technicians, safety and range control personnel was demonstrated. The participants experienced case studies on team work, troubleshooting and real-time decision making in NASA mission environments. Upon completion of a post-workshop lesson plan deliverable and post-workshop survey, participants received an $800 stipend. VSGC will continue this program in 2019.
