At Royal Bash 2013, we raised over $23,000 to fund this two-part grant. We provided funds for exciting hands-on materials to ignite kids’ natural curiosity and amp up the STEM curriculum Hopkins has adopted throughout the district:
- STEM Toolkits for all Elementary Schools: Our students are inventing, testing, building and discovering – using hands-on activities and open-ended challenges. Read more in this Sun-Sailor article.
- Rolling Robotics Labs for Junior Highs: Both junior highs will have Rolling Robotics Labs so students can learn to design and construct robots for hands-on, minds-on learning.
STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering, Math
15 of the 20 fastest growing occupations require significant math or science
