Technology Support
PIE Business Partners offer an authentic challenge using STEM K-12 concepts. Each participating school receives devices for all student participants.

Program offers sustainable funding for all program technology, STEM curriculum development and educator professional development.
Program creates a web page and 30-second professional videos featuring case partners, students and educators discussing STEM experiential curriculum, teaching notes and testimonials.
We worked with the orchestra members to show how violins and oboes were just like members of a scientific ecosystem. Kids were able to visit Music Hall and explore ‘black holes’ of sound with acoustic design engineers. Kids applied biology, physics and math as they helped launch a new CD for the Symphony. Amazing!
