BOISE, ID today announced the deployment of its PCS Academy of
Engineering(TM), PCS Academy of Robotics(TM), Discover Lab(TM),
Digital Photography Lab(TM), and PCS BrickLab� programs into
multiple schools and districts within the State of California.
Funded through grants made available by the California Afterschool
Education and Safety Program (ASES), the labs will be delivered in
December for implementation in the new year. The goal of the
California ASES program is to support local efforts to improve
assistance to students and broaden the base of support for
education in a safe, constructive environment. ASES encourages
schools and school districts to provide safe and educationally
enriching alternatives for children and youth during non-school
hours and creates incentives for establishing locally driven before
and after school education and enrichment programs.
The lab implementations will be deployed into over 100 schools
located in Del Norte County Schools, Hacienda La Puenta Unified
School District (USD), Long Beach USD, Los Angeles USD, Madera
County Office of Education, Montebello USD, Monterey Peninsula USD,
Saddleback Valley USD, and Southern Humboldt USD. The participating
schools serve both primary and middle school age students and will
be using PCS programs to boost their offerings in the areas of
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Bill
Albert, National Sales Manager for PCS Edventures, said, "This
exciting project will bring engaging, hands-on activities to
thousands of children served by the ASES funding program. PCS is
delighted to be involved and looks forward to working closely with
these schools and students to make these lab programs a tremendous
success."
