US2020 - VC STEM Odyssey Program Coordinator
 
 
 
The Ventura County STEM Network (VC STEM) has launched a STEM mentoring program in collaboration with US2020 that focuses on underrepresented communities in Ventura County. Briggs, Fillmore, Hueneme, Mesa, Mupu, Ocean View, Oxnard, Rio, Santa Clara, Santa Paula, and Somis school districts have substantial low-income (74% Free and Reduced Lunch), English-Language Learners (39%), and Hispanic (84%) student populations. The collaborative effort between US2020 and VC STEM is being facilitated by California State University (CSU) Channel Islands. As a new STEM network, the Vision of VC STEM is that all P-20 students in Ventura County: 1) benefit from high quality STEM learning opportunities; 2) graduate with the STEM knowledge, skills, and applied learning capabilities necessary for success in STEM and non-STEM college education and careers; 3) and, possess the STEM knowledge, skills and awareness to positively impact our region, nation, and the world. VC STEM will accomplish its mission, vision and goals by coordinating and activating a multi-sector network of STEM leaders, policymakers, business and industry stakeholders, governmental agencies, non-profits, and educators to integrate STEM programming efforts across the county. One of its goals is to increase STEM interest, competencies, resources, and opportunities among PK-20 California students, especially for first-generation, low-income, and/or underrepresented students, with an emphasis on critical thinking, hands-on learning, problem-based approaches and the use of information technologies. In partnership with US2020 and other organizations that are involved in mentoring in Ventura County, VC STEM will build upon a successful launch of its STEM mentoring initiative (STEM Odyssey) with a focus on expanding local STEM mentoring.
