Second Annual New Mexico Governor’s STEM Challenge
NMDWS News:
ALBUQUERQUE High school students from 33 schools will be competing for $5,000 in prize money from 18 employers in the 2nd Annual New Mexico Governor’s STEM Challenge. Hosted and organized by New Mexico State University (NMSU), Los Alamos National Laboratory Foundation, New Mexico Public Education Department (PED), and New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions (NMDWS), this event will be entirely virtual Saturday, Dec. 12.
Ten-person student teams have submitted solutions to the NMSU formulated question, “How can you combine New Mexico’s natural resources with technology to address regional/global needs?” Employer partners have provided judges to rate the solutions based on quality, creativity, presentation, and how they match up with skills that employers need for future hires in their own industries. Selected teams will receive $500 per student in cash.
   New Mexico Governor Michele Lujan Grisham said Monday that New Mexicoâs reset was starting to show results in a slowing of the spread of the novel coronavirus in the state.
   County Health and Human Services Director Lauren Reichelt said in a phone interview she was not seeing a change in the rate in Rio Arriba County at this point, but thereâs been a shift in distribution. Reichelt said that previously upwards of 66 percent of cases were coming from the city, while now itâs only 40 to 50 percent.
   âI donât know if thatâs from the numbers in Española going down or everyone else going up,â Reichelt said.
