The eve of Amazon’s Prime Day on Tuesday netted a big benefit for the STEM program at Sedalia Park Elementary School in East Cobb.
As students gathered for a summer STEM event, Amazon announced it would be making a $50,000 donation for STEM activities at the school.
According to a release sent out by the Cobb County School District, the donation will help Sedalia Park upgrade a number of STEM-related facilities, including its technology lab and production studio.
In addition, Principal Tiffany Jackson said, “Amazon has helped open the doors to create a new Science Lab outfitted with state-of-the-art technology for our students and teachers!”
Activities included a STEM challenge including style art to decorate the science lab, and students took home a free STEM kit.
Plenty of Amazon-provided supplies also were on hand, with STEM-related uses in mind.
“It is our hope that through this giving event, local students will have greater access to the tools needed to support their overall educational experience,” Terreta Rodgers, Amazon Head of Community Affairs, Atlanta Region, said in the release.
