About Us
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math.
The overarching goal of the NIWC Atlantic STEM Outreach
Program is to collaborate with academia, other government
organizations, local businesses, and professional organizations to
increase STEM interest and literacy in our communities, and to
provide an adequate pipeline of STEM talent that will be required

Creative Thinking, and Teamwork
Provide support to multiple Cyber Security events each year to
promote Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math (STEM) to students
throughout the country. During these events, students have the
opportunity to sharpen their skills and promote their learning of
Cyber Security through hands-on activities. Additionally, Cyber events
encourage students to begin thinking about their college career by exposing
them to various degree programs that fall into the Cyber Security spectrum.
