The acronym for the study of science technology, engineering and mathematics, identified as essential in education.
Science fans will get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the cutting edge research taking place at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory when the Laboratory, which already offers tours to groups, opens up its doors to smaller groups or individuals with new twice-monthly public tours starting in October.
PPPL associate research physicist Angie Capece urges young women to pursue their passion in science and technology fields in a short video interview on women in STEM fields on the U.S. Department of Energy website.
The Girl Scouts may be famous for selling cookies but today’s Scouts are focusing more on encouraging girls in science and technology than on cookie sales. Some 240 Scouts got plenty of hands-on activities and encouragement through a Girl Scout STEM Fair held at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.
Some 35,000 people attended Communiversity on Sunday, April 27, and many of them stopped by PPPL’s booth. There, they could take part in hands-on plasma demonstrations, view an ITER model and chat with scientists, engineers and staff members about the great work taking place at the Laboratory.
The Young Women’s Conference hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) became a pep rally for science this year when all 400 girls attending shouted “Science” at the top of their lungs from the bleachers in Jadwin Gymnasium at the urging of keynote speaker Jayatri Das. It was no doubt the first such cheer ever shouted in the gym.

Just as the Olympics were wrapping up in Sochi, PPPL was hosting its own Olympics of sorts for budding young scientists. But this Olympics focused on young contestants’ knowledge of science, mathematics and technology in a quest to win the regional contest to compete in the National Science Bowl in Washington D.C.
