Investing in local STEM education is a smart business choice, too! It’s part of what drew tech entrepreneur and investor Paul Leslie to join the #LaunchtheFuture campaign. “We have to grow our own talent here,” Paul shared, “and you have to grab children’s attention for them to focus on STEM. That investment belongs in education, and it will help us grow a sustainable, local labor market.” We’re proud to welcome the Paul and Julia Leslie family to the #LaunchTheFuture campaign.
