NC Next Firsts showcase North Carolina innovations
North Carolina is recognized as “First in Flight” but many other innovations brought to life showcase the state’s exemplary talent. For example, did you know the Barcode was invented in Raleigh in 1969? N.C. Commerce Secretary Anthony M. Copeland has announced an initiative to attract business to the state by highlighting the world-class, inventive, and forward-thinking nature of North Carolinians through the NC Next Firsts campaign. The N.C. Department of Commerce the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina are implementing the effort. A t-shirt illustrating North Carolina firsts will be given at random to social media users tagging #NCnextfirsts. Citizens also can order an official #NCnextfirsts t-shirt, with proceeds to benefit the SMT Center. You can discover more by visiting @NCnextfirsts on Facebook. Other quick reminders, PRISM grant applications for 2018 selections are open to North Carolina teachers through Dec. 5 at 4 p.m. EDT. Please review the PRISM Request for Proposal for complete eligibility requirements. And, nominations for next year's SMT Center Awards close on Friday. Enjoy your e-Update. Tweet us @NCSTEM with suggestions, feedback or thoughts about this issue or future ones.
