Top U.S. aerospace manufacturer Boeing on Sunday announced a donation of 5 million U.S. dollars to an aviation-related program of education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) for students in nine European countries.
Boeing said the STEM-focused program of "Newton Rooms," pioneered by non-profit FIRST Scandinavia, are "themed, state-of-the-art classrooms" dedicated to experiential learning.
The aircraft giant's multi-year investment will establish Newton Rooms in Britain, Germany, The Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Poland and Sweden, which will deliver high-quality experiential STEM education to primary and secondary school students in Europe.
Boeing's donation will fund such projects as Boeing Newton Flight Academy, a permanent classroom focused on teaching students aviation-related STEM concepts.
It will also fund Boeing Newton Rooms dedicated to experiential learning themed on space and biofuels advanced materials and manufacturing.
Boeing Pop-Up Newton Rooms will also benefit from the newly-announced funding to create a temporary Newton Room in virtually any existing space by taking advantage of the resources as a portable package of flight simulator panels and classroom materials.
"Newton's proven teaching methods and immersive, hands-on educational environments will help excite future innovators to pursue careers in STEM fields -- many of which can be found at Boeing," said Boeing CEO, Chairman and President Dennis Muilenburg.
Boeing has helped launch Newton Concept projects in Denmark, Norway and The Netherlands since 2013.
An additional 40 Newton Rooms are operated by FIRST Scandinavia in Norway.
