The event encourages students to learn more about STEM opportunities, including stem cell study and biotech, and helps demystify the fields and encourage student engagement. Photo by David Sprague
NAS Oceana and the Virginia Beach City Public School (VBCPS) system have once again partnered to provide every fifth-grader enrolled in Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) the opportunity to take a one-of-kind field trip to Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana, Friday, Sept. 15. The special Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Lab Day, was part of the annual Air Show. This event is being provided free of cost for all students and every child had a chance to take part in hands-on activities and learn about STEM careers in a real-world setting. This included displays and exhibits from NASA Langley, the Office of Naval Research and Naval Research Laboratory, Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, Wesleyen University, Engineering for Kids, Old Dominion University, Landstown High School, Navy history and heritage command, U.S. Naval research laboratory and Virginia Department of Transportation.

have you ever seen a daffodil stem do this?
i apologize for the crap editing. imovie wouldn't let me make the frames go any faster :/
Brookhaven Lab staff and visiting students offered hands-on science demonstrations that included a cloud chamber that revealed electron tracks, sound and light sensitive microcontrollers, tricky engineering attempts, and robotic building blocks.

CAMP CASEY, South Korea – The West Casey Chapel, which had been closed for 10 months for a stem-to-stern renovation, is open again and with an all-new look.
Services resume Sept. 16 at the chapel, which sits on a hill overlooking Camp Casey’s Exchange and commissary area. The renovation began last November.
Protestant services are scheduled for 9:30 a.m., Catholic Mass for 11 a.m. and the Latter Day Saints service for 4 p.m.
To mark its reopening, officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Sept. 7 with more than 60 Soldiers, civilians and family members present.
Among those at the ceremony was Chaplain (Col.) David Waters, U.S. Forces Korea chaplain, who said the renovation had been so thoroughgoing the chapel was “close to being a brand new facility.”
“The Second to None is so blessed to have a new facility like this,” Waters said, in a reference to the 2nd Infantry Division, whose motto is “Second to None.”
“The old chapel, the old building had a very low ceiling and there was a lot of leakage here and there,” said Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Suk-jong Lee, U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I chaplain.
“Inside, the roof has been raised and it is very bright in the sanctuary, with a nice contemporary style,” Lee said.
Besides the chapel’s new look, worshippers will feel the change in another way too.
The windows in the old chapel weren’t sealed and the air conditioner didn’t work properly, said Lee. That left the congregation shivering in their seats in winter and sweating in summer.
But awaiting them in the renovated chapel is a new air-conditioning and heating system.
Not everything from the old building was carted away. The bronze reliefs of the Stations of the Cross were saved and members of the Catholic congregation made new frames for them.
Before the renovation the sanctuary was the chapel’s only place worshippers could meet after services.
“So after their service they would have to move out for the next service,” said Lee.
The renovations have changed all that by adding an activity room to the chapel. The large room has movable walls that can divide it into three rooms.
Also new is a full-size kitchen, with an industrial-size refrigerator and stove.
“So, the congregation can cook together and eat together,” something that’ll be especially helpful if they want to share a Thanksgiving or Christmas meal, Lee said.
“Now we can have things happening at the same time at the chapel,” said Spec. Amber Jones, a worshipper assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 70th Brigade Support Battalion. “We can have Bible study going on and choir rehearsal going on.”
The renovation project was not limited to the chapel itself. A playground and paved parking lot was added to the chapel grounds.
“This is a place where people can really congregate,” said Lee. “They can claim this as their home and hopefully we can build a bigger family within this chapel facility.”

The leaves of the tree itself have a large number of uses.
People can make fans, mats, baskets, buckets, hats, umbrellas and sandals from them.
They can also be used as a very good thatch.

On September 9, 2016, sixth graders at Centennial Middle STEM Magnet School in Pasco County showed off their brain-power at the Cyberchase STEM Fair produced in partnership with WEDU PBS. Students spent the morning visiting stations where they wrote computer code, examined the effects of conductors on circuits, raced drones, launched rockets and catapults and even explored virtual reality, all in an effort to expand their knowledge of science, technology, engineering and math. All activities were drawn from Florida PBS LearningMedia resources and Cyberchase, the PBS Kids multi-media, Emmy Award® winning mathematics series, now in its tenth season. The Centennial Cyberchase STEM Fair is supported by a generous grant from series producers, THIRTEEN in association with WNET New York. Special thanks to Principal Rick Saylor, STEM teacher, Bobbi Starling and the wonderful staff and students at Centennial for making the day such a success!

actually not a bad place for shifters, cable routing is easy. But, you gotta move your hands far to reach em, especially with a cruiser bar.

Stems formed in 2011 with the idea of seeking a new relationship between experimental guitar and classical instruments, to create music with the energy of rock music but with elongated and intense structures of Western and Indian classical music.
To date the band have released one E.P - The 20 minute long track 'Only When all is broken can the truth be seen' and an album 'POLEMICS'. The artwork of both CD's are translucent layered images printed on tracing paper.
In 2013 they embarked on a successful 15 date tour of Europe to promote the album 'POLEMICS' which further developed their following, based around their passionate and intense live performances.
The name Stems is derived from the idea of roots diverging to produce unique strands, all of which are bound to a central body.
Students took an overnight trip to Boston filled with STEM workshops and city tours, including one of Fenway park.

“Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach, Virginia hosted its annual Air Show drawing more than 280,000 visitors from 25 states and 12 countries over the three day event that is recognized as the Navy’s largest open house in North America. This year, the NAS Oceana Air Show forged a ground-breaking partnership with the Virginia Beach City Public School System (VBCPS) to create a one-of-a-kind “Outdoor STEM Laboratory” on an unprecedented scale. Recognizing the need to highlight career fields in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) to America’s youth, the leadership of NAS Oceana and VBCPS committed to creating this Outdoor STEM Laboratory for every 5th grade student in Virginia Beach during the Friday practice air show on board NAS Oceana. The entire 5th grade class – totaling more than 6,500 students –attended the Friday air show for a full immersion in STEM displays, flying performances, ground static displays and a performance by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels flight demonstration team. The goal was to provide each student at least three meaningful STEM interactions via more than 100 “access points” positioned on the flight line within four STEM zones. These displays were set up to educate and inspire our students to consider STEM fields of study with hands-on experiences in physics, robotics, 3D printing and much more. “
