Dear STEM Supporters,
In April, Google announced a $1 million award to the
Museum of Science, Boston. The award will help us address the human-made
world through our informal education programs, possibly with a computer
science themed exhibit. Google has also funded our Engineering is
Elementary® teacher training videos and middle school engineering
teaching materials.
