Our Partnership : Larger Vision

Educate-Innovate Campaign: A multi-million $ private donation that aims to bridge STEM/STEAM needs in local schools by building Innovation Labs, Maker Space facilities and Technology enhancements in local public schools
AJ will grant an Innovation lab for one High School each year. In addition, Makerspaces in Elementary Schools and a Technology refresh in Middle schools that feed into the selected High School. This is to foster an ecosystem of early adopters and innovators.
This campaign builds on AJ’s core belief of uplifting the underprivileged by providing access to education and healthcare, and takes it to the next level by empowering next generation of innovators by providing them access to state of the art technology.
All schools that participate in the 5K Run qualify to apply for the grant
