See the impact of our grants:
“The MINNDEPENDENT STEM Grant Program was a huge help in reviving our school’s robotics program. Through this project, students not only developed their technical STEM skills in designing, building, and programming robots, but they also enhanced their presentation and collaboration skills.” Nativity of Our Lord Catholic School (St. Paul)
“We were able to set up an area for assembly of aircraft components. This has given us the first steps towards adding vocational options in our school. This grant extends our aviation classes ( also supported by MINNDEPENDENT ) from flight-related careers in aviation to aircraft maintenance careers. Some of our students had never seen a rivet gun nor assembled components from drawings.” Gene Poole, United Christian Academy (Bloomington)
