Businesses in the modern era now deploy technology solutions for many of their operations. However, some of these systems can be quite complex, which highlights the need for technology education. According to WRDW TV, one company in South Carolina hopes to account for this fact by donating to local schools.
Savannah River Remediation will donate multiple checks in 2011 to teachers throughout South Carolina and Georgia who display innovation in the classroom, reported the broadcast station. The company insists that in doing so, it is giving back to the community and creating a future workforce for its industry.
"For the past couple of decades, fewer students have been pursuing math- and science-related careers," Dave Olsen, SRR president, told the media organization. "If we are to remain competitive, both as a company and a country, we must reverse that trend."
Teachers may use the funds to create innovative lesson plans that rely on technology. These tech-minded educators may want to buy a robotics kit, an advanced computer or a
DLP projector.
The donations by SRR are expected to total $16,000, reported the news source.
