“The Boeing Co. and June Boeing today announced a $30 million donation to the Museum of Flight to expand its science, technology, engineering, and math-related (STEM) education opportunities, particularly for underrepresented communities. The donation, $15 million from the company and $15 million from June Boeing —wife of the late William E. Boeing Jr., the son of Boeing founder William E. Boeing — will help the Museum of Flight launch a new program called Boeing Academy for STEM Learning. With the funding, the Museum of Flight hopes to double the amount of students it serves over the next two years and connect them to jobs in STEM-related fields.”(more)
