The Center offers high quality workshops and courses taught by university faculty from the UNCW College of Arts and Sciences and Watson School of Education teamed with master teachers. Mrs. Shafer has worked with area school systems to meet the specific professional development needs of their teachers, while coordinating efforts among and between the school systems. Your comments and suggestions for workshops which you would like the Center to offer are always welcomed. The Center sponsors the North Carolina Southeast Regional Science Fair each spring.
Students select a science or math course and receive instruction from university faculty.
Each student develops a research project then designs, carries out, and presents the project's results the last day of the program. More information regarding this program, funded entirely by the state of North Carolina, can be obtained from the SVSM State Coordinator's office at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics.
