In addition, as ofMarch 16, 2020, Delaware Governor John Carney ordered the closure of the physicallocation of every “non-essential” business for what was an extended period. Due todisruptions and restrictions, DASEF’s in person programs came to a halt and fundingbecame limited. It was heartbreaking to cancel the 31st academy!

We have adapted ourlessons for the 34 libraries to accommodate online or in person. In November, weorganized and ran a virtual Girl’s STEAM Symposium in conjunction with Delaware Space Grant and the University of Delaware. As schoolsbegin to adjust to remote/hybrid/in person learning, teachers will begin to request virtual and possible in person field trips and outreach in2021. DASEF will be ready to serve them!Work continued at the Innovation Technology Exploration Center (ITEC). Completion of our statewide facility will provide unique instructionalareas, Earth systems displays and exhibits, and overnight accommodations for not only our Destination Academies and family programs, butalso for public programs throughout the year. Financial management of DASEF embraces disciplined, conservative financial stewardship. Allconstruction has been funded without debt and completed on budget. Solicitation of grants and other efforts seeking capital funding forconstruction continue and remain necessary to enable continued progress toward completion of ITEC.
