This summer, Digi-Bridge worked with scholars through MeckEd to provide a 4-week Summer STEAM Camp experience. Funding for this program was provided by a 21st Century Learning Community Centers grant through the North Carolina Department of Instruction.
Last month, we kicked off our 2021-22 fiscal year by welcoming three new members to Digi-Bridge’s Board of Directors.
Charlotte-based online loan marketplace LendingTree announced a $375,000 investment in Digi-Bridge, from the LendingTree Foundation, that will span three years through its’ signature philanthropy program, the LendaHand Alliance Cohort. This investment will support our work in three areas: expansion of our STEAMLab program, continued community engagement work, and a scholarship fund for the Lab at Innovation Alley.
As Digi-Bridge moves into summer and toward the 2021-22 academic year, we are thrilled to announce that Sherry Sample has transitioned into a new role as Digi-Bridge’s Program Manager.
This week closes out the 2020-21 academic year for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) and what a year it’s been for scholars, parents, educators and entire learning communities. We’ve learned so much, have tried new things and can’t wait for next year.
Like most nonprofits, Digi-Bridge would not be able to accomplish all we do without assistance from many, many volunteers who help with everything from assembling STEAM Kits for students to helping with events (pre-Covid) and even assisting us with website and administrative needs.
