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.
