Virginia Space Flight Academy website

The Virginia Space Flight Academy has been granted $12,500 by the U.S. Navy for – what’s called – STEM education.

The Salisbury Daily Times report that the award was announced during a meeting of the Wallops Island Regional Alliance earlier this week.

The program is part an effort to enhance education programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

The money will provide for two 3-D printers and two computers along with scholarships.
