💙 Thank You, Newport News Shipbuilding HII ! 💙
We are incredibly grateful to Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Shipbuilding, for their generous $10,000 grant supporting STEM programs right here on the Virginia Peninsula!
This funding will help us expand hands-on STEM opportunities for girls by:
🔬 Delivering engaging STEM programs
🧪 Purchasing critical STEM supplies
🚀 Providing financial assistance so underserved girls can participate in our Community Troop programs with no cost barriers
Programs will be offered at Camp Skimino, partner locations throughout the Peninsula, and virtually, led by trained staff and expert STEM partners.
As shared in our application, “Supplemental STEM programs that enhance learning beyond the classroom are essential for our future. Early engagement in STEM is more important than ever.”
Thanks to Newport News Shipbuilding’s investment, girls across our community are beginning a journey toward becoming the next generation of engineers, scientists, and programmers.
By investing in girls, Newport News Shipbuilding is investing in the world. 🌍💡
