We have all been anxiously awaiting this year and I hope that it brings you the hope and happi- ness you desire. After a tumultuous 2020 for the ASM Materials Education Foundation, we look forward to what 2021 will bring and the programming we will be able to offer. To best serve students and teach- ers, the ASM Foundation will again be holding ASM Virtual Materials Camps. This early decision allows the Foundation to plan curriculum and commit resources for the best possible programs this year. We will be able to use this year as an opportunity to reach students and teachers in new areas, potentially those from remote locations that have difficulty attending in-person programming. We will not move forward with the Eisenman Materi- als Camp for Students again this year but will continue with the Virtual Materials Camps for Students that we developed last summer. Students gave the remote program positive reviews, and our outstanding volunteers provided a mem- orable experience. While, of course, we prefer offering in-person learning, 2020 showed us that community building and hands-on learning can be successful online. In 2021, we will build on the early success and make additional improvements to benefit our students and teachers. The ASM Foundation team will plan on our 2022 offer- ings including in-person programming as well as some remote options. We continue adding to the ASM Founda- tion’s toolbox to reach students and teachers wherever they are and continue to increase the number of students learn- ing about STEM and materials science. Thank you for your continued understanding, support, and participation. Carrie Wilson Executive Director ASM Materials Education Foundation FROM THE FOUNDATION
