Throughout November, the Education Foundation supported meaningful STEAM experiences for students across Lake County. STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. The hands-on learning experiences foster creativity and problem-solving in our students.
The Lake County Schools’ Robotics Scrimmage featured twelve teams from across the county competing for the top prize on October 25. The event was hosted at Tavares Middle School and made possible with support from Duke Energy and the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations. Congratulations to Cypress Ridge Elementary School and Pinecrest Academy Middle for earning back-to-back Excellence Awards.
In November, hundreds of Lake County 5th graders embarked on a musical adventure across two days. The Young People’s Concert, coordinated by Lake Community Arts, brought together the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, Orlando Ballet, and Opera Orlando. The Education Foundation secured a grant through Walt Disney World to support this event. Thank you to all the supporters who helped make this experience possible for our students.
Umatilla Elementary School’s Dustin Strate received a Teacher Impact Grant to support a new 3D printer for his 4th-grade class. The students were able to design flashlights that were then printed by the 3D printer. In class, they learned about electrical conduction and saw their flashlights in action. The Education Foundation’s Teacher Impact Grants bring ideas to life for students and teachers.
Your investment in the arts & technology creates lasting memories and deepens the connection between creativity and learning.
