C-STEM Programs
This Month's Highlights
Welcome Aboard!
We are pleased to announce that Hamane Edwards has been selected as the new Program Director for C-STEM beginning January 6, 2020. In the 4th grade, Hamane was introduced to robotics through the C-STEM Challenge competition and later to Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in high school. As a student at the University of Maryland, he interned at C-STEM and completed his undergraduate degree in Geographical Information Science. Upon completing college, Hamane began his professional career as a teacher and tutor in Prince George’s County Public Schools.
