Gary Community School Corporation’s Partnership with Boeing expands STEM interest among Scholars
Through this program, students completed a hands-on project with support of Boeing staff. This year’s challenge was a Hack-a-box Design where the students built a box that could only be opened by the designer and would remain safe from hackers.
The ongoing relationship with the Gary Area Career Center has not only supported its Aviation program, but other STEM-focused concentrations including the CNA track and graphic design.
“These partnerships provide opportunities for our scholars to gain first-hand experience in their desired field of study,” said Dr. Paige McNulty, Manager of GCSC. “We invite other corporate partners to the table to create amazing experiences for our students.”
In continuous support of careers in STEM, Boeing offers a scholarship for students who select STEM-focused career pathways in college. Applications are open until February 28th. Five scholars out of 10 winners last year were from West Side Leadership Academy..
