Society's STEM Action Grant program supports Marie's Kids

摘要

Exposing children to science and engineering can make them more likely to pursue those subjects later in life. This tenet is central to the mission of Marie's Kids, one of the Society for Science & the Public's 2019 STEM Action Grantees. The STEM Action Grant program aims to bolster and support community-driven nonprofit organizations that are working to enhance the public's understanding of science and to increase participation of underrepresented populations in STEM fields. With the $2,500 grant Marie's Kids received, the organization has been able to expand its outreach to underserved areas of Charleston, Dorchester and Berkeley counties in South Carolina.
