The purpose of this grant is to provide funding support to Wayne County Public Schools (WCPS) for a project that would add a STEM learning center in four middle schools in the Wayne County School System (Eastern Wayne Middle School, Rosewood Middle School, Dillard Middle School and Mount Olive Middle School). The project will provide a STEM technology course for middle school students through Career and Technical Education (CTE) and also an additional math module for the middle school at Wayne School of Engineering. The project will position Wayne County middle schools to serve as a pipeline to high school STEM programs at the Wayne School of Engineering as well as Advanced Manufacturing and other technical training programs at Wayne Community College.
