College brings STEM opportunities to students

The Brunswick News | February 26, 2019

An ever-changing world of opportunities exists in the STEM fields. Jobs in STEM - or science, technology, engineering, and mathematics - require skills like critical thinking and creativity. In Glynn County, students have many opportunities to get involved in STEM education programs. Many of those opportunities are sponsored by the College of Coastal Georgia, where faculty prioritizes finding ways to give back to the community and get involved in the education of local students.
This past weekend, the college hosted its annual Math & Sciences Bowl Competition for high school and middle school students. The event, sponsored in collaboration with Pinova, is put together by the math and science departments at the college, with help from faculty in other departments as well. Students from local schools participated in the competition.
