Generous funding provided by the Duke Energy Corporation Foundation will allow us to provide free field trips to 3rd - 5th grade students to the Science Center with a focus on the engineering design process. Through direct, hands-on exploration and experimentation, future engineers will hone their skills with challenges that have the potential to spark a lifetime of STEM interest. 🧪🦕💻 Since its founding in 1984, the Duke Energy Foundation has given over $500 million to over 20,000 charitable organizations, making strategic investments to build powerful communities. Thank you for your ongoing support for our community, Duke Energy Foundation! Together, we can help our students excel and nurture a talented future workforce to drive economic prosperity for all.
