Q: What do you hope for STRIDE in the next decade?
SCK: We hope to transition from
a service business to a product business by developing technologies where we have strengths, such as in 3-D printing and new materials.
Q: It is my understanding that
educating young people is a significant part of your mission at STRIDE. What are some ways in which you do this?
SCK: We have been working with
the Route 9 Library and Innovation Center to create STEM programs that can be run during school breaks.
We [ran] six sessions during spring break in the first week of April. For the longer term, we are collaborating with [STEM-centered nonprofit] RESET, based in the greater DC area, to
bring their six-week STEM program
to Delaware schools. In addition,
we are investigating ways to bring undergraduate students at Wilmington
University and University of Delaware into contact with industrial scientists so that the students learn about how STEM is used in industry. ID
