New York is a city of innovation and success, stemming from a drive that citygoers have to do more. That drive comes from a particular blend of innate passion and serious education. That’s why we’re pleased to support the city in its initiatives to further this drive, from NYC’s Tech Talent Pipeline right down to our city schools. And this summer, we’re taking another step toward this by supporting NYC’s Summer STEM program.
This July, 1200 students — 400 each in 2nd, 7th, and 10th grade — will have the opportunity to spend several weeks experiencing high-quality hands-on instruction in STEM education from university and museum partners across the city. Students will explore robotics, engineering, arts, physical education, technology and science in an intensive and fun environment. We’re thrilled to be on board for this venture and look forward to our students creating inspiring projects this summer.
