Montana State University's Crow Education partnership program recently received $48,000 from the American Honda Foundation, reported Indian Country Media Network.
The educational initiative is intended to enrich the learning processes for students living on the Crow Indian reservation, stated the news source. Furthermore, program planners hope to give these students a leg up in subjects relating to science, technology, engineering and math.
The innovative learning program is designed to provide hands-on activities and videoconferencing seminars to its beneficiaries, claimed the media outlet. Thanks to the additional grant money, program instructors may consider purchasing educational technology devices, such as an e-reader, a new microscope or a
DLP projector, to ensure students successfully grasp STEM concepts.
The empowerment of STEM-centered learning is a shared goal of both organizations involved with the program
"Through grant giving, the American Honda Foundation seeks to develop youth in the areas of math, science, engineering, technology and literacy," said Alexandra Warnier, manager at American Honda Foundation. "We are proud to partner with Montana State University on its important contribution in this area and look forward to the impact and results that will be achieved."
