Parker Lord and SummerSTEM | STEMposium 2020
Scientists and engineers at Parker Lord Corporation are passionate about working with teachers to bring real-world STEM experiences to students. In 2019, Parker Lord participated in WakeEd Partnership’s SummerSTEM program and welcomed K-12 teachers from the Wake County Public School System to their Headquarters in Cary, North Carolina. During SummerSTEM, teachers participated in tours, simulations, and panel discussions with employees, designed to demonstrate the importance of the 4Cs – Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, and Critical Thinking – in STEM careers.
WakeEd’s annual STEMposium event celebrates the impact of these school-business partnerships on student achievement and career readiness. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, STEMposium 2020 became a virtual event. Continue watching our video presentations to meet some of the inspired educators and dedicated business partners who are going above and beyond for students in North Carolina’s largest school district.
