The Boy Scouts of America's NOVA awards program incorporates learning with cool activities and exposure to science, technology, engineering and mathematics for cub scouts, boy scouts, and venturers. The hope is that the requirements and activities for earning these awards stimulates interest in stem-related fields and shows how science, technology, engineering, and mathematics apply to everyday living and the world around them. counselors and mentors help bring this engaging, contemporary, and fun program to life for youth members. The Troop 222 STEM/NOVA Program Chair is Mr. Rajesh Purushothaman ([email protected]), and he is assisted by Mr. Chin Yoong Tatt ([email protected]).
