Overview

Mission

Funding helped provide equipment, supplies, and program support for robotics, technology, skilled trades, entrepreneurship, and other applied learning experiences. These programs are designed to expose students to problem-solving, engineering, technology, teamwork, and real-world career skills beyond the standard classroom curriculum. Approximately 1,000 students benefited directly or indirectly from these programs.
