Virginia Tech; William & Mary; Bowie State; South Carolina State
6th Bde – Expand to include robotics credentialing & certification program
8th Bde – Partnership with universities and each military service in Hawaii
Require STEM component in each JCLC but leave open enough for each commandant to tailor to environment
Partner with industry and educational institutions
Partner with military organizations: active, reserve, VSOs, The Rocks, Tuskegee Airmen, etc.
Seek grants
Build community relationships
Credentialing

Focused on exposure, increasing awareness, inspiring academic excellence and physical fitness
Partnerships/collaborations with IHLs, industry and advocacy groups
Offers practical application and includes site visits to locations where STEM professionals work
Selection process that makes the opportunity available to all cadets
Parental involvement, seek grants and sponsorship
Provide a listing of available STEM opportunities nationally and regionally, i.e. NFA, ERDC, West Point LEADS, college/university outreach and industry
Encourage all units to provide some type of STEM activity or program participation
Long Term: Provide Regional STEM Camps

LONG
Provide funding for implementation
Increase Funding
Incorporate Training at JSOCC
Establish Formal learning activities
Partnership with STEM leaders/Researchers
Regulatory guidance
Certificate Completion
ADVANTAGE
Provide Good Job Potential
Promote Gender Equality
Re-brands JROTC as a Relevant Course
Increase JROTC Enrollment
Help address STEM shortfalls by providing STEM Opportunities
Prepare cadets for college and Workforce
DISADVANTAGE
Costly

Current Examples of Hybrid JCLCs
How to Develop a Hybrid JCLC
Discussion
Short/Long Term Recommendations
LTC Barrow’s JCLC is a hybrid JCLC Example
5th Bde: Practical STEM applications incorporated in and
around legacy JCLC structure
Detroit: Cadets rotate through single STEM station
over 5 days.
4th Bde: ½ day project oriented STEM classes; around
legacy JCLC structure; final day project display and
explanation.
Establish relationships: Universities, local resources,
business and industry.
USACC provides purpose, direction, and guidance
USACC Incorporates into CCR (non-prescriptive)
Disseminate Hybrid JCLC example throughout the
command.
USACC provides purpose, direction and guidance as
part of SY training guidance with the definition
and the focus of making a STEM activity mandatory
during JCLC (SY JCLCs already set)
Enhance current STEM training at JCLCs as
practicable.
Begin establishing relationships at the local level
USACC publishes updated CCR with official
JCLC training guidance.
Don’t fully replace traditional health, fitness, Army
values, etc. from JCLCs to focus solely on
academic endeavors.

Team A: What are the advantages and disadvantages of Hybrid JCLC’s?
Discussion
Short/Long Term Recommendations
Advantages
Cheaper than pure STEM camps
Stem exposure provides broader learning experiences for cadets while allowing for physical education, leadership and learning opportunities
Provides practical application with real world experiences
Perpetuates focus on STEM as a career option
Disadvantages
Requires STEM SME’s
Limited time and resources
Possible increased costs and expenses
Short
--Determine partnership possibilities at local level
(military, commercial, educational)
--Develop local cost estimates that provide for all
logistical, administrative and personnel expenses
Long Term
--Consolidate data at CC and procure funding to accommodate program initiation and sustainment
--Ensure STEM introduction and supporting lessons are incorporated with the Curriculum Manager

Are you aware of Cyber Camps?
If so, are you participating in Cyber Camps?
Discussion
Short/Long Term Recommendations
Short
Research Cyber opportunities at local level
Build relationships with local educational
institutions/participate in AFA Cyber Camps
Educate instructors regarding Cyber possibilities
Utilize existing Air Force Cyber training templates
Long
Develop certification opportunities at local colleges and universities
CC develop start-up and sustainment
funding
Groom the next generation of cadets to instil Cyber awareness
Army Cyber Camps very limited; however, they are conducted in Mississippi and Hawaii.
The Air Force Association conducts a significant number of Cyber Camps throughout the Nation.
