STEM Engagement
While many companies have philanthropic programs that address a variety of needs in their communities, how many companies have specifically targeted STEM opportunities to support? T.D. Williamson, a global pipeline services company, made the conscious decision to add STEM projects to its Community Resources (the corporate philanthropy) portfolio 6 years ago. TDW supports both FIRST LEGO League (FLL) and Tech Challenge teams, sponsors the STEM Expo and the STEM Fest, and provides judges and awards for the (former) Salt Lake Valley Science Fair. I’ll use this decidedly non-technical talk to show how TDW has leveraged a modest investment into the opportunity to touch many students in the valley.
