Louisiana Tech University’s Science and Technology Education Center (SciTEC) in the College of Education recently announced plans to establish the STEM Collective for Innovative Louisiana Stakeholders (SCILS) Center.
The Center, established in partnership with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) stakeholders along the Interstate-20 corridor, will serve Louisiana’s Region 8 from Caddo Parish to East Carroll Parish as a member of the Louisiana Regional STEM Network.
“The development of Louisiana’s regional STEM centers will help us in building a robust STEM ecosystem across our state,” said Dr. Kim Hunter Reed, Louisiana’s Commissioner of Higher Education. “By bringing together regional partners around a common goal of innovation combined with stronger STEM education to employment pathways, great things are ahead for our students and our state. Louisiana Tech is stepping forward to lead in this area.”
