  1. Brigade Chiefs & DAI Training Group Topic/Issue Guiding Policies/Regulations Team A: Expanding STEM & Developing Hybrid JCLC’s 1(a). What is the current status of the JROTC STEM program? • AR 145-2 • CCR 145-2 • USACC AY Training Guidance w/JROTC directive Training Guidance 2018/19 • DODI 1205.13 Discussion Short/Long Term Recommendations 4th Bde – STEM components in each JCLC 5th Bde – working with industry/educational institutional Partners in Education (PIE) along with military PIEs 6th Bde – Mississippi State – geoscience/engineering Jackson State – computational chemistry William Corey Univ – health related 7th Bde – VEX Robots Freedom to pursue STEM options 8th Bde – Cyber Patriot Partnership with Naval Warfare Cmd (SPAWAR) Cyber Camps with community colleges Medical Job Shadow Program – (Tripler) C-17 Orientation – 16th Wing (Hickham AFB)

  2. Brigade Chiefs & DAI Training Group Topic/Issue Guiding Policies/Regulations AR 145-2 CCR 145-2 CCR 145-8-3 DODI 1205.13 JROTC Strategic Plan Discussion Short/Long Term Recommendations Require STEM component in each JCLCbut 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 Simulations 1(b). Are there other STEM programs planned within the Brigade? 4thBde – Hybrid JCLC • Virginia Tech; William & Mary; Bowie State; South Carolina State 6thBde – Expand to include robotics credentialing & certification program 8thBde – Partnership with universities and each military service in Hawaii

  3. Brigade Chiefs & DAI Training Group Topic/Issue Guiding Policies/Regulations AR 145-2 CCR 145-2 USACC AY Training Guidance w/JROTC Directive Training Guidance 2018/19 DODI 1205.13 Discussion Short/Long Term Recommendations 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 Team A: Expanding STEM and Developing Hybrid JCLCs ISSUE: What are the major ingredients for a good STEM program for JROTC units? • 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

  4. Brigade Chiefs & DAI Training Group Topic/Issue Guiding Policies/Regulations Team A: Expanding STEM & Developing Hybrid JCLC’s • AR 145-2 • CCR 145-2 • USACC AY Training Guidance w/JROTC directive Training Guidance 2018/19 • DODI 1205.13 What are the advantages and disadvantages of the STEM Program Discussion Short/Long Term Recommendations SHORT Basic Initiates ID Focus Areas Phase in Implementation Ground floor collaboration (teachers, colleges) 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 Under performing Cadets could be Omitted Time Constraining (partnerships/sponsorships) Distract from Core application

  5. Brigade Chiefs & DAI Training Group Topic/Issue Guiding Policies/Regulations Team A: Expanding STEM & Developing Hybrid JCLC’s AR 145-2 CCR 145-2 USACC AY Training Guidance w/JROTC Define a JROTC Hybrid JCLC (Example) Current Examples of Hybrid JCLCs How to Develop a Hybrid JCLC Discussion Short/Long Term Recommendations Disseminate Hybrid JCLC example throughout the command. USACC provides purpose, direction and guidance as part of SY 19-20 training guidance with the definition and the focus of making a STEM activity mandatory during JCLC 2020. (SY 18-19 JCLCs already set) Enhance current STEM training at JCLCs as practicable. Begin establishing relationships at the local level USACC publishes updated CCR 145-2 with official JCLC training guidance. Don’t fully replace traditional health, fitness, Army values, etc. from JCLCs to focus solely on academic endeavors. 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 145-2 (non-prescriptive)

  6. Guiding Policies/Regulations Group Topic/Issue • AR 145-2 • CCR 145-2 • Team A: What are the advantages and disadvantages of Hybrid JCLC’s? Discussion Short/Long Term Recommendations • 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 • 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 As of: 1 January 2020

  7. Guiding Policies/Regulations Group Topic/Issue • AR 145-2 • CCR 145-2 • 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. As of: 1 January 2020
