Build your own Computer!

As part of St. Louis School’s continuing commitment to STEM education, we are pleased to announce that we have been awarded a grant under the AFCEA Central Maryland Chapter STEM Kickstarter program. AFCEA International, established in 1946, is a “non-profit membership association serving the military, government, industry, and academia as a forum for advancing professional knowledge and relationships in the fields of communications, information technology, intelligence, and security.”

The AFCEA Central Maryland Kickstarter program awards for initiatives in STEM-related disciplines. SLS received a grant for $4,700 and will be using the funds to purchase a class set of KANO Touchscreen kits Kano Computing based on the Raspberry Pi computer to be used in Grades 2 through 8.

On Friday, Mr. David Fries, VP of Technology for the Board of Directors, presented Principal Terry Weiss and STEM Coordinator Zulma Whiteford with the check. We would also like to thank Kyle Cragg, a school parent who is our AFCEA Central Maryland (CMD) liaison. #STEMatSLS
