GOVERNOR TOMBLIN ANNOUNCES
MINECRAFT COMPETITION WINNERS
Highlights STEM accomplishments,
proclaims STEM Day in West Virginia
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (November 29, 2016) - After proclaiming today STEM Day in West Virginia, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin announced the student winners of the State Capitol Minecraft Design/Build contest. This contest was a collaborative effort involving the Governor's STEM Initiative, the West Virginia Department of Education, the West Virginia Department of Education and the Arts and the Education Alliance.
The competition, which began in May, was open to West Virginia students, grades PreK-12 and challenged participants to either create a new version of the state capitol building or produce a replica of the current complex using Minecraft. Governor Tomblin recognized both individual and team winners from each category.
"I applaud each student who took the time to create their own versions of our state capitol," said Gov. Tomblin. "More than once this summer, I saw students exploring the capitol grounds, taking notes and preparing for the hours they would spend creating their submissions. Their efforts certainly paid off. It's important that we encourage our students to develop the skills and interests that build a foundation for future success in STEM fields - into college, training programs and careers."
The students recognized today received more than $7,100 in gift cards to be used for educational purposes. In addition, Microsoft is providing a Surface Pro 4 to each of the top two winners for each category-Asad Ranavaya from Cabell Midland High School in Cabell County and Justin Hardwick from East Fairmont High School in Marion County.
Before the student recognition ceremony, Governor Tomblin hosted a roundtable discussion with state and education officials, along with students, to highlight the efforts and successes of his STEM Council and STEM Initiative.
"There is a critical need to focus our state's attention on science, technology, engineering and mathematics," said Gov. Tomblin. "West Virginia's workforce needs are evolving and in order to fill jobs in the future, all of us - from K-12, higher education, and workforce and economic development - must work together to provide our students access to the best STEM education opportunities."
The Governor STEM Council was established to develop specialized STEM education opportunities for West Virginia students and increase the number of graduates in these fields. The council is comprised of business and education leaders across the state.
The following students were recognized today by Governor Tomblin:
Benjamin Reed, Village of Barboursville Elementary School
Zane Spencer, Cherry River Elementary School
Camdyn Hill, Terra Alta/East Preston Middle School
Madison McCloud, Madison Middle School
Elizabeth Shaf, Charleston Catholic High School
Jensen Tucker, Grafton High School

I'm forever buying bunches of fake flowers, even though I've long run out of vases to put them in. But it is a good job I have lots and lots of empty bottles :))
a simple, pleasing sight

Demonstrations are fun, but there is always math involved when it comes to science. Maj. Brian Holloway, physics instructor and Army engineer, applied the principles of electricity and magnetism in a variety of “science tricks,” including the ever-popular and hair-raising Van de Graaff generator. The large electrostatic ball aptly shows how an electric field comes from static charges, whereas other demonstrations showed how a magnetic field derives from moving charges. The Center for STEM Education hosted the 3rd annual West Point Middle School STEM Workshop May 29-June 1, with 110 students throughout the nation participating in this hands-on exploration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Is this a scientific project? How many knots can you make before the stem breaks. No, it's just Geo getting bored in the countryside.

On Sunday, August 20, 2017, Chargé d’Affairs Joel Reifman congratulated Bangladeshi STEM students who recently participated in a number of robotic and social media competitions at a reception event at the U.S. Ambassador’s residence. The reception was organized by the American Center Dhaka to honor participants including Bangladeshi Mars Rover teams from six different universities, the Robot Olympiad’s high school team, and Dhaka University’s team attending Peer 2 Peer (P2P): Facebook Global Digital Challenge in the USA.
