“This is an exciting time for innovators and inventors,” said CSM Velocity Center Director Hugh Burrell. “Open platforms, new ideas, new resources are everywhere.

The CSM Velocity Center is located in Indian Head and is described as a “giant, professional playground for innovation” as well as a place where Navy scientists and industry leaders can interact with students, have a place to tinker or conduct unclassified research and be a place where the community can have access to CSM courses. The center is approximately 13,000 square feet, is located right outside of the Naval Surface Warfare Center and aligns with the strategic plans of the region’s naval bases, as well as state and local economic development plans.

This free event will be held in person at the Velocity Center with limited seating and online via Zoom. RSVP’s are required. To register, visit www.csmd.edu/vcseries.
