The Monroe Owen County Medical Society believes in supporting our community by giving back through sponsorships and community health initiatives. In early 2020, we proudly donated to the Monroe County Community School Corporation (MCCSC) Foundation for the purchase of a “STEM to Them” Mobile Lab.
The official dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the “STEM to Them” Mobile Lab was held on Monday, February 22, 2021. MCCSC administrators, principals, teachers, staff, and donors gathered outside Bloomington High School South to celebrate its arrival.
The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) mobile lab travels to each of the MCCSC’s 14 elementary schools twice a year, equipped with a laser cutter, 3D printer and other learning materials to provide robotics, computer science and engineering lessons, engaging more than 6,000 students annually in hands-on project-based learning. Students enter the lab ready to explore through a lens of play, investigation, and fun while increasing proficiency in STEM subjects. They are immersed in real-world inspired projects that give them the freedom to create, construct, problem solve, and become better thinkers.
