CINCINNATI, Sept. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Duke Energy is issuing a challenge: Donate toward a classroom learning project in Greater Cincinnati, and Duke Energy will match it – dollar-for-dollar.
The Classroom Crowdfunding Challenge is a partnership between the Duke Energy Foundation and DonorsChoose.org to help local public school teachers bring engaging science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) projects into their classrooms.
Here's how it works:
"Teachers are at the core of our communities, and some of the biggest influences in the lives of our children," said Jim Henning, president of Duke Energy Ohio and Kentucky. "We're challenging our community to join this crowdfunding campaign, and help teachers bring innovative STEM projects to life for their students."
Duke Energy's $200,000 commitment, along with crowdsourced funds, will bring $400,000 worth of STEM education projects to public schools in Greater Cincinnati.
"We're deeply grateful for Duke Energy's support of Ohio and Kentucky STEM projects," said Charles Best, founder of DonorsChoose.org. "So many local teachers will now have tools they need to teach and inspire our next generation of scientists and engineers."
Teachers can visit DonorsChoose.org/teachers to submit a project. Qualifying projects already posted to the site will automatically be eligible for Duke Energy's matching funds.
Parents and other members of the community can contribute to these projects by going to DonorsChoose.org and searching for projects by either school name or selecting the "Math and Science" project category.
