Grant to bolster Greenpoint school’s STEM program
A $2,000 grant from a coalition of pharmaceutical companies will come in handy at a Greenpoint elementary school, according educators, who said the much-needed funds will be put toward enhancing the school’s budding Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) program.
The organization Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) awarded the funding under its STEM Talent Pipeline Grant program to P.S. 34, the Oliver H. Perry Elementary School.
The STEM Talent Pipeline Grant will be used to support P.S. 34’s new STEM Classroom, educators said. The money will go toward buying classroom materials.
