WASHINGTON, April 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Deloitte Foundation today announced a grant to Base 11 that will help create a nationally scalable STEM career accelerator model. The model will offer high school students a project-based learning program that encompasses multiple engineering disciplines.
The objective of the program is to encourage students who have an inherent interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) to pursue a college degree in one of those fields and help alleviate the STEM workforce shortage. Research shows that experiential learning helps retain students' interest in the STEM fields that are the gateway to STEM degrees and careers.
