海角直播app College has received a state grant to develop several technology programs for regional elementary and high school students.
The $378,150 grant is part of Governor Tom Wolf鈥檚 $10.8 million to expand access to computer science and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education for Pennsylvania students.
海角直播app鈥檚 grant will focus on developing computer science, information technology, and 3-D printing for elementary and high school students. Specific school districts involved will be announced soon.
High school students included in the 海角直播app initiative will have an opportunity for dual enrollment and to attain certifications in Python coding and/or SOLIDWORKS 3-D printing. The certifications can be used as resume builders to join the workforce after high school and the dual enrollment credits can be applied toward higher education opportunities.
Elementary students will be engaged in glass blowing and ceramic classes. They will learn about materials science and how it relates to the creation of those art forms. The PAsmart grant also includes funding for technology and software and instructor stipends.
“We are extremely grateful to Governor Wolf to be included in the PAsmart initiative. The education programs we develop will help local students obtain valuable training. Whether they decide to continue their education after high school, or enter the workforce directly, these programs are critical for young people to develop the necessary skills to be successful in their careers and in their lives.”聽 聽

鈥淲orkers in all types of jobs increasingly need to use computers and technology,鈥 said Governor Wolf. 鈥淚n order to meet that demand, I launched PAsmart in 2018 to expand science and technology education. These grants will help our schools and communities to expand STEM and computer science education. That will strengthen our workforce, so businesses can grow, and workers have good jobs that can support a family.鈥
