Introducing the Artificial Girl: A Revolutionary STEM Education Program

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, it's essential to invest in educational opportunities that empower children from diverse backgrounds to reach their full potential. The Duke Energy Foundation has recognized this need and is awarding over $300,000 in grants to 24 innovative K-12 education programs serving communities across Indiana.

One such program, the Maker Youth Foundation, is a nonprofit organization based in Fishers, Ind., that provides STEM education to youth from underrepresented populations. Their mission aligns with the foundation's goal of supporting and investing in opportunities for children to thrive and reach their full potential.

The grants will support programs based in 14 counties across Indiana, including Clark, Daviess, Hamilton, Hendricks, Henry, Howard, Huntington, Jefferson, Johnson, Knox, Lawrence, Monroe, Morgan, Ripley, Shelby, Tippecanoe, and Vigo. These programs will focus on reversing academic declines caused by the pandemic and providing students with engaging educational experiences.

The Maker Youth Foundation is just one example of an organization that has received a grant from the Duke Energy Foundation. Their educators and students are facing tremendous challenges as they emerge from the pandemic, but these grants will provide them with the resources needed to overcome those challenges.

By supporting programs like the Maker Youth Foundation, the Duke Energy Foundation is not only investing in the education system but also in the future of Indiana's children. As President Stan Pinegar of Duke Energy Indiana said, 'It's more important now than ever before that we support and invest in opportunities for our children to thrive and reach their full potential.
