Adopt-a-School Program

The AFCEA NOVA Adopt-a-School program provides adopted schools with funding, resources, and personnel to improve hands-on scientific education.

We provide personnel that are utilized by teachers, administrators and students to provide practical guidance, daily experiences and project mentoring/judging as needed by these adopted schools.

Let's get our kids excited about science!

2 Ways to Get Involved

Nominate a Local School

Building on the successes of the Adopt-a-School program's launch in January 2011, we are seeking nominations for more schools to support.
