LIMERICK PA – YWCA Tri-County Area is receiving a Constellation Energy Corp. grant, the company says, to benefit students who participate in hands-on education projects related to energy, and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
The company reports its funds will support the Pottstown-based YWCA’s “Full STEAM Ahead Climate Club.” That program, geared to grades 5-8, looks to expand students’ science-related literacy and experiential learning. The YWCA intends to focus on “climate change, energy resources, sustainability, horticulture, climate justice, and local water conservation,” it adds.
Two other Pennsylvania grant winners also were announced. One was St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, for “equity and renewable energy education for middle- and high-school girls from diverse backgrounds.” The other was York College of Pennsylvania, for a project “to address the gender gap in STEM fields by engaging middle and high school girls in hands-on learning.”…
