PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. (OTCBB: PCSV), a leading provider of K-16
programs focused on Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics (STEM), today announced a progress update on their
partnership with The STEM Academy. In the Fall of 2010, PCS
Edventures announced the formation of an industry partnership with
The STEM Academy or STEM 101, a national, non-profit organization
dedicated to improving K-12 STEM literacy for all students. STEM
101 practices, strategies, and programming are built upon a
foundation of identified national best practices designed to
improve minority and low-income student growth, close achievement
gaps, decrease dropout rates, increase high school graduation rates
and improve staff effectiveness.
Since the initial partnership announcement, PCS and STEM 101
have worked together to successfully deploy PCS robotics programs
into multiple sites located in Texas, South Carolina, Alaska,
Wisconsin, Maryland, North Carolina, and Idaho. Orders for five new
sites were received in June alone and more are anticipated before
the end of the quarter.
Robert Grover, CEO of PCS Edventures, said, "The relationship
with STEM 101 continues to evolve and is highly positive. To date,
we have received orders from STEM 101 in excess of $100,000 and
based on the quality of their programs and people, and our
commitment to providing them the very best in robotics and STEM
programs, PCS revenues from this partnership will continue to grow
annually."
Russell Mickelson, CEO of The STEM Academy, stated, "The STEM
Academy is committed to improving STEM literacy for all students.
STEM 101 pedagogy, programming and professional development empower
our partner school network with an elevated instructor STEM
capacity and improved student outcomes. We have enjoyed our early
growth with PCS and look forward to continuing to build this
partnership to deliver much needed STEM programs to our partner
schools."
