ELC Awarded $6000 Grant From PNC Bank For New Steam Machine

The Giving Coast

The Early Learning Coalition of Manatee County (ELC) has been awarded a $6000 grant from PNC Bank to help create a new STEAM Machine mobile classroom that will increase ELC's educational fleet to six vehicles. The new STEAM Machine will have disabled access and be constructed from a school bus donated to the ELC by the School District of Manatee County. The PNC Bank grant will contribute towards interior buildout and STEAM program materials. The STEAM curriculum focuses on science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math. ELC's STEAM curriculum engages early learners in real projects within authentic environments and lays the academic groundwork for math and science.
