The Virginia Demonstration Project (VDP) is a science and math outreach program for 7th and 8th grade students. The VDP is funded by the Office of Naval Research and is currently being piloted in the middle schools of Stafford, Spotsylvania, and King George County, Virginia. Scientists and engineers employed at the nearby Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, Virginia, work alongside the teachers, and, serving as mentors and role models, use problem based learning techniques to give a real-world, Navy-flavored realism to the educational experience. The objective of the program is to increase interest among the students in pursuing careers in math, science, and engineering.
