Go STEM Institute 2022: A Journey Through the Cosmos
The CDO STEM Council is pleased to announce the Summer 2022 GO STEM Institute!
This year's theme is "A Journey Through the Cosmos" and the lead instructor is astronomer Valerie Rapson (SUNY Oneonta). The Go STEM Institute is a one-week Science, Technology, Engineering and Math experience for young people going into grades 7-9. The institute runs from July 18-22 from 9am to 3pm and we anticipate running an in-person program based at SUNY Oneonta's A.J. Read Science Discovery Center and the planetarium.

SCIENCE. TECHNOLOGY. ENGINEERING. MATH.
We are living and competing in a global economy that demands individuals become more educated and fluent in Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) related skills in order to be valued in the work place.
Out of 30 industrialized nations, American teens rank 25th in math and 21st in science.
The number of students entering the courses of study and careers associated with STEM has dramatically fallen. There are 19 other countries that produce more scientists and engineers than the US. China and India have the top number of graduates in these fields. Example: College graduation levels in 2006: China 2.5 million, India 2.3 million and US 1.3 million. (readyindiana.org)
In response to this need within the counties of Chenango, Delaware and Otsego, a regional partnership was convened to strategically develop, foster and promote STEM initiatives.
The CDO-STEM partnership hopes to make a difference in the local STEM the help increase the number of:

The CDO-STEM partnership hopes to make a difference in the local STEM the help increase the number of:
- Secondary school students studying advanced STEM-related subjects
- Students prepared to major in STEM disciplines in college and graduate school
- New educators within the STEM disciplines who will approach science and math in interesting and engaging ways and lead students in scientific inquiry
- New and effective methods to provide “re-tooling” and training to strengthen the skills of the current workforce
