STEM Conference 2020, a training event for regional K-12 science, technology, math and engineering teachers, has been rescheduled from September to Nov. 11 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The University of Cincinnati’s College of Engineering and Applied Science and Northern Kentucky University, with sponsorship from STEMucation Academy, have partnered to host the online event. Using input from potential attendees, the theme for the conference is “STEM, STEAM, or STREAM, Adapting to the Virtual Environment.”
