STEM outreach and education receives increased corporate support in 2017
May 16, 2017
South Carolina’s Coalition of Math and Science (SCCMS), and related initiatives the Upstate STEM Collaborative and the Lowcountry STEM Collaborative, is an alliance of partnering organizations and initiatives, each reaching the education and business communities in different ways, with a central focus on promoting economic development through improving K-12 education.
SCCMS, the Upstate STEM Collaborative and the Lowcountry STEM Collaborative have received increased support from a number of major corporations in 2017, including Duke Energy, ScanSource, GE, BMW, Bosch, Michelin, Fluor, Boeing, SCE&G, Lockheed Martin, 3M, and AFL Telecommunications, among others. Funds from these companies help SCCMS promote STEM education and workforce development across the state of South Carolina, and support annual activities such as the iMAGINE Upstate festival, the Charleston STEM festival and the STEM Conference, as well as numerous outreach and networking opportunities throughout the year.
SCCMS brings together partners from industry, education, government, and the community to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders, and Clemson is grateful for strong support for this important initiative from many corporations in the state.
