21st Century Grants and the Academy of Engineering

21st Century Grants and the Academy of Engineering!

Greetings! This site is dedicated to helping Learning Centers across the country to adding an Academy of Engineering Lab to their facility! One excellent way of doing that is by applying for a 21st Century Grant!

As a volunteer in public schools, I am often asked "where can I raise money to get LegoŽ resources?" My response has always been: "The money is there." We love helping Learning Centers apply for grants!

The PCS Edventures! Academy of Engineering empowers students ages 7-13 to learn the basic foundations of Mechanical Engineering, Structures in Architecture, and Software Engineering by completing an exciting array of hands-on activities. It is an awesome opportunity for any Learning Center!
