In early 2011, Dayton Regional STEM Center (DRSC) initiated the creation of a high school modeling and simulation elective course.  This effort has been successful thanks to National Defense Education Program; SAIC; Col (ret) Jack Franz; Dr. Winston Bennett and his team;  AFRL’s Mr. Bruce Preiss; Lead Curriculum Author: Kim Puckett.  This curriculum is currently in piloting phases and will be distributed formore expansive piloting during the 2012-2013 school year.

Ms. Margy Stevens: Dayton Regional STEM Center Executive Director

Mrs. Sandi Preiss: Dayton Regional STEM Center Coordinator and Modeling & Simulation Project Manager

Mrs. Kim Puckett: Modeling & Simulation Curriculum Lead Author
