Seventy Brooklyn schools — from elementary and middle to high school and college institutions — and their students are the beneficiaries of a $13.3 million allocation of funds from Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams’ office, designated specifically for STEM education programs. Pretty much every Brooklyn neighborhood is included in the boon — including our very own South Slope and Windsor Terrace:

  • $35,000 for technology upgrades to the Brooklyn Urban Garden Charter School
  • $100,000 for a Wi-Fi project at PS 10 Magnet School for Math, Science and Design Technology
  • $150,000 for technology upgrades at MS 443 New Voices School of Academic and Creative Arts
  • $161,000 for technology upgrades at PS 295 Studio School of Arts and Culture

“The educational opportunities we create in Brooklyn should reflect the knowledge and skills necessary for the jobs of today and tomorrow in our borough, jobs which are rooted in STEM,” said Adams. “Projects like mobile labs and hydroponic classrooms will foster creativity and problem solving ability needed to prepare students for high-quality career opportunities.”
