MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Aug. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today celebrates the 20th
anniversary of the Synopsys Silicon Valley Science & Technology
Outreach Foundation (known as the Synopsys Outreach Foundation).
For the past two decades, with Synopsys' support, the foundation
has enabled 2.1 million science, technology, engineering, and math
(STEM) projects for K-12 teachers and students throughout the state
of California.
To commemorate this milestone anniversary, the Synopsys Outreach
Foundation is launching a campaign to honor and acknowledge STEM
teacher excellence in the San Francisco
Bay Area. From August 1 to September
1, parents and students of qualified schools in Santa Clara, San
Mateo, Alameda,
San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma, Solano, Monterey and Napa Counties can nominate their favorite K-12
STEM teacher to receive a cash prize. A total of 20 teachers will
be selected and winners will be announced on September 30th.
"Through the work of the Synopsys Outreach Foundation, we have
supported career development for teachers and invaluable
opportunities for students to experience the thrill of scientific
inquiry and a chance to build the life skills that such events
offer," said Synopsys Co-CEO, Aart de
Geus. "The foundation has invested in schools in every
county of the State of California
and prides itself on helping students from all different
backgrounds and skill levels – from those who are just starting to
learn about science to champions at the International Science &
Engineering Fair. It's been a privilege to witness firsthand how
life-changing these experiences can be, not only for the students
themselves but also for their families and entire communities."
Among its many programs, the Synopsys Outreach Foundation offers
free teacher trainings, an advanced science research class in the
East Side Union High School District, "Science Fair 101" seminars
for parents and students, and the donation of more than 100,000
science project poster boards and data collection devices each
year. The Synopsys Outreach Foundation also sponsors premiere
science fair events in the San Francisco
Bay Area, including The Synopsys-Sonoma County STEAM
Showcase, The Synopsys Alameda Science & Engineering Fair, The
South Valley Science & Engineering Fair, and
sciencepalooza!.
