Dailycsr.com – 26 July 2016 – Thanks to “Astellas USA Foundation”, STEM education will be available in rural areas. Under the “Rural Communities Initiative”, Astellas USA Foundation complemented its wide spectrum of “existing partnership”, whereby launching an innovative initiative of STEM.
The said initiative is an attempt to introduce the advantage of “STEM education” in high school as well as middle school in “targeted rural communities”. In the words of Astellas USA Foundation’s President Jeff Winton:
“STEM is a critically important educational foundation for students who are both college-bound and career-ready, yet rural school districts in America often do not receive the kind of support that urban and suburban counterparts do. With our new rural STEM initiative, we hope to expand STEM access to these underserved communities to give more students an opportunity to thrive in academic and professional settings.”
The new website of the Foundation, Science WoRx™, acknowledges the proposals of the “rural STEM pilot program in Illinois”, which are due for the 15th of August 2016, whereby the philanthropic nature of the platform will provide fund raising opportunities. The hands on education approach through the STEM programme will help to “ignite imaginations” and “feed curiosity” of the ones interested in the same field.
The said website also includes information about the non-profit partners of Astellas USA Foundation in its STEM initiatives, besides “compelling testimonials” and the Astellas’ employees’ advice who mentored and taught as teachers in the classroom, while Winton adds:
“Through resources like Science WoRx, the Astellas USA Foundation seeks to educate, inspire and empower all students to be big thinkers and enable them to create brighter lives and positively impact their communities. We want to ensure the success of the next generation, whether they are scientists, IT pioneers, healthcare workers, machinists, farmers, teachers, plumbers or entrepreneurs.”
