STEM Education for adults ~ Dr. Callison also envisions STEM education opportunities for adults looking at new careers or skills to help with daily tasks and decisions. This might include community seminars featuring speakers from the scientific community presenting on topics of general interest or current event relevance. One example Dr. Callison talks about is the topic of immunization. With H1N1 and seasonal flu shots featured in news stories almost daily, the center could provide a community education seminar on the science behind vaccines, how they are developed, why they work, and the benefits of vaccinations to the health of their families. The STEM education initiative for adults might also include periodic newsletters and web based materials.
Local Economic Benefits ~ While the failure rate for newly opened small businesses over 5 years exceeds 50%, studies have shown that 87% of businesses graduating from incubators are still in business 5 years later and that 85% of those are operating in the same community. A biotech/life sciences incubation center in Davie County would both leverage and strengthen other investments in life-sciences that have seen significant growth in Davie County in 2009. The community can harness long term benefits from a successful incubator as companies graduate from the incubator and pay taxes on earnings, provide local jobs, and build value into the local tax base.
