Ameren is dedicated to inspiring and providing hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning experiences for K-12 students. They aim to support education initiatives that equip students with the necessary skills to thrive beyond the classroom, with a strong focus on STEM education.
The grant program supported by Designed Conveyor Systems focuses on providing financial assistance to schools aiming to initiate or enhance their PLTW Launch programs. This initiative seeks to bolster pre-engineering education for younger students by equipping schools with the necessary resources to adopt or expand their participation in Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Launch programs starting in the next academic year. The goal is to foster an early interest in engineering and technology fields through hands-on and innovative learning experiences.
