- Title:
- Atlantic City STEM Organizations [New Jersey]
- Description:
- The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs' (NJDCA) Local Planning Services (LPS) Division was tasked with preparing a spatial dataset and map of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) assets for the Greater Atlantic City, NJ Area, which includes Atlantic City and other municipalities within Atlantic County. The aim is to collect as much information throughout the Greater Atlantic City Area relevant to building a vibrant, strong STEM education and program community, which will be helpful to: Industry (to understand the workforce skills being developed); Educators (to align, support and enhance curriculums and find facilities for programs); Parents (to find resources and programs for their children); and the Community (to access programs for adults for up-skilling, re-skilling changing career paths).LPS worked with the South Jersey STEM Innovation & Partnership and the Atlantic City Initiatives Project Office, a unit within the NJDCA's Division of Local Government Services to prepare a STEM asset survey. The data collected from this survey and from additional research by LPS staff was used to populate the dataset. The dataset contains known assets to date and will be updated periodically as additional information is provided and/or compiled. In addition to the survey, sources for the data displayed on the map include the New Jersey Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS), the National Center for Education Statistics, the Greater Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce, and the New Jersey Department of Education. Based on the data collected and compiled, LPS mapped over 105 STEM facilities ( e.g. aquariums, museums, science centers, institutions of higher education, etc.), in-school and out-of-school curriculums and programs, and/or industry partner/employer programs (e.g. internships, co-ops, scholarships, fellowships, career workshops) in the Greater Atlantic City region using GIS software.
