CLEE awarded STEM Grant from Alcoa Foundation
The Center for Literacy, Education and Employment is happy to announce the receipt of funding from Alcoa Foundation for an innovative STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) project.
This funding will support approximately 20 students from Alcoa Elementary School, in Tennessee, to spend their Spring Break at a STEM camp featuring engaging STEM learning activities. Families of the campers will also be involved through family literacy activities that strengthen parents’ ability to support their children’s STEM development. In addition, Alcoa retirees will be invited participate and share their expertise, making the Alcoa STEM Spring Break Camp a true community endeavor.
If you have any questions about this project, please contact Olga Ebert oleber@utk.edu.
