Science Center of Pinellas

Progress Energy Grant 2010


Progress Energy Donates to STEM Program

Progress Energy has partnered with The Science Center of Pinellas County
donating $25,000 to the Center in support of STEM  (science, technology,
engineering and math).   Progress Energy is aligned and supportive of
the Science Center’s mission, to inspire, motivate and stimulate innovative
thinking in the areas of science, technology, engineering, math and
career development for K-12 students, enhancing their lives through instruction, hands- on,
and experimental education delivered through partnerships  with schools, corporations,
universities, and community. 

A special Thank You to Progress Energy as these programs will engage and teach students alternative energy and conservation, including the management and principles of alternative energy development which is supported by a broader program in the physical sciences.  These funds will also help us create more afterschool programs for students in our community.  With community partnerships like this, today’s students will be prepared for tomorrow’s world.

Our Mission:  To inspire, motivate and stimulate innovative thinking in the
areas of science, technology, engineering, math, and career development for
K-12 students; enhancing their lives through instruction, hands-on, and
experiential education delivered through partnerships with schools,
corporations, universities, and community.

Who We Are: Established in 1959, the Science Center was the first of its kind
in the United States and was the prototype for other centers in the nation. We
have become the premier science learning resource in the area. Students of all
ages participate in interactive, "hands-on" classes that teach them how to
hypothesize, discover, investigate, interpret and evaluate.

The Science Center is an independent nonprofit organization. Support from our
community plays a vital role in ensuring that the Science Center's education
programs continue to be available.
