?? Thank You, Bosch Community Fund! ?? We’re excited to share that District 57 has benefited from a generous grant from the Bosch Community Fund to advance hands-on STEM learning for our students! This grant has helped enhance computer literacy and communication technology programs at Lincoln Middle School, equipping students with tools like microphones, cameras, and podcasting equipment. With this generous grant from Bosch, District 57 was able to furnish a new Communication Technology course with updated learning spaces where students use video, audio, graphic, and print production to communicate their unique ideas. We’re grateful for Bosch's investment in our students and their commitment to fostering creativity, curiosity, and STEM success in our schools. Together, we’re building brighter futures! ?? #D57EveryStudentEveryDay #BoschCommunityFund @BoschUSA
