Mission Statement

The Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Sea, Air and Land project at North Florida College aims to enhance the learning and teaching of STEM topics through research and development of innovative resources, models and tools. The project provides opportunities for teachers and students in NFC's six-county area (Hamilton, Jefferson, Lafayette, Madison, Suwannee, Taylor) to participate in design of and competition in challenges integrating four components: engineering design, technology and society, electrical knowledge, and computer science.

Predominantly funded by and reflecting the statutory mission of the National Science Foundation, North Florida's STEM SEALs project has been developed specifically for under-served groups in our rural area, increasing the number of students who participate in hands-on and interdisciplinary STEM experiences and expanding interest and competency in skills and knowledge for STEM career pathways.
