LINCOLN 

A new group is announcing the formation of Lincoln Partnership for STEM – a non-profit scholarship organization geared to support STEM education. This new organization will not only support STEM education; Lincoln Partnership for STEM plans to offer scholarships in the future to local students pursuing an interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

STEM is a widely-used curriculum that focuses on the disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The blending of these disciplines helps students to prepare for the ever-changing workforce that exists today. The popularity of STEM has grown rapidly in the recent years as it is a new and effective approach to education that not only teaches independent innovation but also helps students to develop critical thinking skills. Experience with a STEM approach allows students to explore subjects at a greater depth and in turn will help them with a greater job potential.

Lincoln Partnership for STEM’s purpose is to work with the business community and volunteers to provide events and fundraising opportunities in order to generate revenue to support persons pursuing STEM education. The Board of Directors for Lincoln Partnership for STEM also plans to apply for grants that can allow for even more scholarship opportunities.

Although this is a new venture and many aspects are yet to be determined, the community is urged to ask questions and to offer input to the Lincoln Partnership for STEM. For those interested in offering support to Lincoln Partnership for STEM, please email stemlincoln @gmail.com.
