East Cooper CAS teacher-librarian earns grant from Toshiba America Foundation

December 2, 2020

Staff members at East Cooper Center for Advanced Studies are committed to providing students with life-changing educational and career opportunities. Thanks to a grant the East Cooper CAS teacher-librarian Melissa Beyel received, students there will have more opportunities.

Beyel learned a few weeks ago that the Toshiba America Foundation awarded her with a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and technology) grant worth $4,012. The funding will allow her to utilize Google Expeditions Virtual Reality kits; teachers can provide their students with immersive learning experiences through this program. Beyel is also going to ask teachers to provide her with nominations of students who will assist in creating a virtual tour of the East Cooper CAS.
