The University of the Virgin Islands, Virgin Islands Next Generation Network (viNGN) and the VI Department of Education (VI-DOE) have partnered to establish a K-16 STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) Academy. The academy, which is being designed to encourage technology and economic access, is a territory-wide initiative for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Students will attend STEAM-focused classes on UVI campuses, on each island, and connect in virtual classrooms with counterparts throughout the territory. More information is available in a news release on the Media Section of the UVI website - http://www.uvi.edu – and from this direct link.
