Empire State Development (ESD) and the Long Island STEM Hub announced the launch of a new video series and curriculum for children in grades K-12 titled “Full STEM Ahead Long Island,” which will highlight science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers available on Long Island. The series is intended to encourage students to start thinking about a future in STEM — furthering Governor Cuomo’s efforts to build Long Island’s innovation corridor and strengthen workforce development across the state.

“On Long Island and across the Empire State, our innovation economy is surging, and we want to ensure New Yorkers are prepared to thrive in the jobs of today — and tomorrow,” Empire State Development Acting Commissioner and President & CEO-designate Eric Gertler said. “Workforce development is critical to economic development, and we are proud of this partnership, which has brought together government, private industry, non-profits and educators to provide opportunities for students to learn about STEM careers.”

"Every day innovative Long Islanders are solving challenges, accelerating growth industries, advancing world-class research, and helping make the island a better place to live," said Ken White, Long Island STEM Hub Co-Steward and Brookhaven National Laboratory's Manager of Educational Programs. "This video series is for local students, parents and educators— offering inspiration and paths to pursue rewarding careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math in growth industries here on Long Island!"

Founded in 2011, the Long Island STEM Hub is a volunteer consortium of industry, academic and not-for-profit professionals from across Long Island working to advance science, technology, engineering and math education in the region. Promoting STEM programs in grades K-12 is critical to ensuring students on Long Island have the key skills that will drive the 21st century tech economy, strengthen existing business on Long Island and draw more companies to the region.

The new video campaign and matching curriculum launched today — “Full STEM Ahead Long Island” — includes 10 videos,

which will be released in the coming months. The series will highlight growth industries on Long Island, including healthcare and bioengineering, and will encourage students, teachers, and parents to discuss the skills and talents needed to pursue STEM careers. The first video, “Crushin’ it with Composites,” focuses on manufacturing and has already been nominated for a New York Emmy Award. The “Full STEM Ahead Long Island” project was supported by a $320,000 grant from Empire State Development, awarded through the Long

our region’s unmatched biotech corridor.

But while we are creating jobs, we also must make sure we are preparing young Long Islanders to fill those jobs. This partnership will do just that — ensuring that, as our economy develops, our highlyskilled workforce also continues to grow.”

Stuart Rabinowitz, LIREDC Co-Chair and President of Hofstra University, said, “Long Island has a wealth of worldclass educational institutions and thanks to smart state investments, researchers across the island are making new discoveries, creating new companies,

and generating jobs. It is critical that we continue to invest in education — and this new video series and curriculum will ensure the next generation of Long Islanders are interested in the STEM jobs of the future. I am proud to support this project and look forward to seeing what the next generation of Long Island’s scientists discover.”

“It is important that we work to retain the talented and bright young minds that are educated in our nationally competitive school districts in Nassau County and across Long Island. I want to thank Governor Cuomo and Empire State Development for funding the ‘Full STEM Ahead Long Island’ program, which will undoubtedly excite our young residents about the innovative STEM focused career paths available right here on Long Island,” said Nassau County Executive Laura Curran.

Since 2011, New York State has invested over $250 million in supporting Long Island’s innovation corridor, including advancing projects including Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory’s Center for Therapeutics Research, an electron microscope building at Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Stony Brook University’s Institute for Discovery and Innovation in Medicine & Engineering, among many others. Just last month, the U.S. Department of Energy announced that a one-of-a-kind electron-ion collider will be built on Long Island, thanks to strategic state investments — including $165 million to support the collider project.

E VENT S BLACK STOCK TRADER Hosts NATIONWIDE SEMINARS FLip T h at S to c k is a Black-

owned stock market education and technology company that specializes in teaching beginners how to trade and invest in stocks. J.R. Fenwick, an experienced stock trader and founder of the company, has announced their 2020 nationwide tour which kicks off in Los Angeles on Saturday, January 18, 2020 from 10am to 12 noon and then heads to Dallas, TX on Saturday January 25 from 10am to 12 noon. Those interested in attending can register at FLipThatStockPowerTour.com.

Everyday people hear about the stock market, however, few people really understand how it works and how to “actively” buy and sell stocks. African Americans, in particular, are NOT taking advantage of the stock market. Statistics show that African Americans are 35% less likely to get involved in the stock market as whites of the same income. Another study said, “It’s sad, really, because those who are

not in the stock market are poorer as a result. It’s a big reason for the wealth gap.”

Fenwick is changing that through the FLip That Stock Power Tour.

“Our people want to learn how the stock market works and how they can have the opportunity to make money in the stock market and we are teaching them,” says Fenwick.

Fenwick says he knew nothing about the stock market, but began buying and selling stocks at the urging of a good friend over 15 years ago. He became so fascinated with the stock market, he began taking classes and then hired a personal coach to teach him. He soon realized that the stock market really wasn’t as complicated as it is portrayed when it is taught a certain way.

After making $1,000 in 6 minutes trading a stock from his laptop while sitting at his kitchen table, Fenwick began telling his friends about the little known and understood skill of flipping stocks. Soon his friends were

asking him to teach them. Word got out and more friends and even strangers began contacting him asking if he had a course to teach flipping stocks. He took his notebook with years of notes and developed a unique online platform that includes videos, training materials and LIVE online training and trading sessions and FLip That Stock was born.

FLip That Stock now has members

in almost every state in the U.S. and has expanded into Canada.

The company’s mission is simple: Teach beginners how the stock market works and how to actively trade stocks and network with “likeminded” people to enhance their finances and quality of life.

We must continue to capitalize on New York State’s investments in the LIRR and push our towns, villages and local developers to build ideal destinations

public facilities and encourage the use of environmentally-friendly transit.”

“I am so appreciative of County Executive Laura Curran and her team for recognizing this area of Roslyn as one suitable for transitoriented development,” said Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth. “The Roslyn Train Station is in close proximity to homes, businesses and schools, so this pedestrian walkway will make it easier and safer for our residents to get to and from where they need to go.”

“Downtown Hicksville is a prime location for transit-oriented development and revitalization, and its continued renaissance has been a cornerstone of my administrations accomplishments since I took office in 2017,” Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino said.

“I thank Nassau County for investing Federal money in the downtown as these funds will assist us with
