NASA IV & V Educator Resource Center

Fairmont State University is pleased to announce that it has received a grant for nearly $1.8 million for continued collaborative partnership with NASA’s Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) Program. This five-year grant will support Fairmont State University’s Education Resource Center (ERC). 

Fairmont State University hosted more than 40 middle school students from across the state on Thursday for the inaugural Cyber Robotics Coding Competition (CRCC). Fairmont State's College of Science and Technology and NASA IV&V's Educator Resource Center partnered with the ISCEF Foundation to launch our state's first competition. A3L Federal Works sponsored the event. 

NASA’s Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V) Educator Resource Center, staffed and managed by Fairmont State, was inducted into the June Harless Center for Rural Educational Research & Development Hall of Fame on Friday, January 12th. NASA IV&V’s mission is to expand opportunities for West Virginia educators who are dedicated to the promotion of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. 

The Fairmont State University School of Science and Technology is hosting a general lecture next week featuring Mark Suder, a system engineer from the NASA IV&V Facility in Fairmont.

The lecture will take place on Nov. 14 at 12:30 p.m. in Engineering Technology Building room 305. The event is free and open to the public.

A donor has made a $10,000 contribution through the Fairmont State Foundation, Inc. in support of the West Virginia FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL) robotics tournament for 2014-2015. The NASA IV & V Educator Resource Center coordinates the statewide tournament that has been hosted in Fairmont by Fairmont State University’s College of Science and Technology.
