\nPreK-12 students in communities across the country will experience PLTW Computer Science and Engineering educational experiences from Burns & McDonnell grant opportunities\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

KANSAS CITY, Mo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#PLTWProud<\/a>–Burns & McDonnell today announced their commitment to giving $1.5 million over the next three years to implement Project Lead The Way (PLTW) programs with 100 percent of the donation going directly to schools across the United States.\n<\/p>\n

\nOver the last 25 years, PLTW has transformed the learning experience of millions of PreK-12 students and their teachers throughout the country by providing real-world STEM-based curriculum in engineering, computer science, and biomedical science pathways.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe partnership between Burns & McDonnell and PLTW will spark an interest in students for years to come and will empower the next generation of STEM leaders. Burns & McDonnell has partnered with PLTW to increase access to and participation in PLTW programs for underserved students within the Burns & McDonnell communities in states such as Arizona, Colorado, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia. Public and charter schools within a 25-mile radius of Burns & McDonnell locations are eligible to apply for grant opportunities. This funding will assist PreK-12 schools in implementing new or expanding existing PLTW Launch (grades PreK-5), PLTW Gateway (grades 6-8), PLTW Engineering (grades 9-12), and PLTW Computer Science (grades 9-12) programs.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cOur future depends on the next generation of STEM leaders and their ability to solve problems and uncover new solutions to tough challenges,\u201d says Ray Kowalik, chairman and CEO, Burns & McDonnell. \u201cWe\u2019re committed to Project Lead The Way and its mission to increase access to STEM learning opportunities for all students that could lead them to pursue STEM careers.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nStudents in PLTW discover STEM career opportunities throughout every step of the program, which includes hands-on activities, projects, and problems. PLTW also equips teachers with the training resources and support they need to engage students in real-world, relevant learning. When students have access to these types of STEM opportunities, they are more likely to consider careers as scientists, technology experts, engineers, mathematicians, healthcare providers, and researchers.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cBurns & McDonnell\u2019s commitment to students, teachers, their employees, and the communities they serve is impressive and inspiring. PLTW is excited to partner with Burns & McDonnell to provide thousands of students across the country with transformative, real-world learning experiences,\u201d said Dr. Vince Bertram, PLTW President and CEO. \u201cThis is an incredibly impactful investment, and it will positively influence students by equipping them with the key subject matter and transportable skills that will prepare them for enduring careers.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
