But those investments are dwarfed by the $50 million the state Legislature approved in 2018 for programs that will train workers in the technology skills needed by the major defense contractors and manufacturers, and the more than 4,000 small suppliers that call Connecticut home.
YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: Our mission is to introduce, capture, and retain the interest of young people, K-12, in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and Design-related fields by providing practical, hands-on, real-world projects and the opportunity for students to create, design, develop, implement and test their own ideas.
Assistants and Substitutes will assist in providing homework help and engaging children in the program's fun, interactive S.T.A.R. (science, technology, art and recreation) enrichment and Learn to code West Hartford literacy curriculum activities.
