STEM/STEAM PROGRAM & EVENTS

Thanks to the vision and generosity of Clare and Molly Tyler, students are able to participate in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics programs that stimulate their interest in these critical subjects.

Clare, a retired chemical engineer and Molly, a retired Professor of Nursing, recognized the impending shortage of technically proficient employees and wanted to give Martin County students an advantage.

Their $100,000 endowment gift to the Library Foundation, combined with other funding sources, touches the lives of thousands of students each year.

In September of 2020, the Library Foundation of Martin County received a grant for $100,000 to support a STEM/STEAM education program in Martin County Public Libraries from

Laura E. and Wilbur J. Kupfrian Family Foundation Fund of the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties

STEM/STEAM events are produced throughout the Library System and employ a variety of educators, tools and materials that focus on inspiring students' interest in STEM/STEAM.

STEM kits were created that will provide equipment for programming for years to come. Each kit includes ideas that inspire creation, invention, and experimentation for the active, young minds that are our future.
