EAST GREENSBORO, N.C. (Feb. 20, 2019) -- North Carolina
Agricultural and Technical State University’s College of
Science and Technology (CoST) will focus on the next
generation of innovators during its 2019 SciTech Week,
March 11-15. |

The theme for the event is “STEM Expansion: Increasing
Motivation, Awareness, Access, Preparation, and
Purpose.” The week consists of visits by middle and high
school students who will engage in hands-on STEM
demonstrations and activities facilitated by CoST
students and faculty, as well as Carolina Biological
Supply Company.
The purpose of SciTech Week is to educate and expose
students to STEM-focused career pathways. The projected
job market for STEM-related careers is almost limitless
for today and tomorrow’s economy. In order to position
underrepresented minorities for such competitive
opportunities, students must feel encouraged to train in
STEM fields. |

 “Our
economy is increasingly reliant on data and technology, and the
demand for professionals in cloud computing, analytics and network
security has increased as well,” said Abdellah Ahmidouch, Ph.D.,
dean of the College of Science and Technology. “N.C. A&T makes
graduate STEM education accessible and continues to meet demand by
giving our students the in-depth expertise and hands-on experience
they need to be the 21st century STEM leaders.” File
