Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Jefferson Elementary School announced it has been selected to receive a $979 grant from Kosciusko Endowment Youth Services (KEYS), the youth philanthropy program of the Kosciusko County Community Foundation.
This grant, written and submitted by Jefferson educator Kara Nieter, will provide 3D printing filament to support hands-on engineering projects in the STEM lab, according to a news release from Warsaw Community Schools.
The funding will enable students at Jefferson to explore engineering, creativity and design thinking through real-world 3D printing applications. The filament will be used for a variety of student-centered projects across grade levels, further enriching STEM education through hands-on learning.
“We are grateful to KEYS and the Kosciusko County Community Foundation for their continued investment in our students,” said Joshua Wall, principal of Jefferson Elementary. “This grant will have a direct impact on our learners, allowing them to prototype, create and engineer in ways that would not be possible otherwise. We’d also like to extend a special thanks to Mrs. Nieter for her leadership in securing this funding that will greatly benefit our STEM programming.”
