COSMOS (The Collaboration of Shoals, Mitchell, and Orleans Schools) received a $14,274.00 grant from Duke Energy Foundation to create powerful communities in Mitchell, Orleans, and Shoals through digital fabrication and STEM programming.
COSMOS is one of 24 organizations in Indiana to collectively receive more than $300,000 in grants from the Duke Energy Foundation.
COSMOS currently has a digital fabrication lab in each district that was proudly funded in 2020 by Regional Opportunity Initiatives (ROI). A fabrication lab is a dedicated space that empowers students to create functional solutions to authentic problems using computer-controlled tools like 3D printers, microelectronics, laser cutters, and CNC routers.
This grant, from the Duke Energy Foundation, will allow COSMOS to expand the use of digital fabrication within their corporations to provide access to elementary and middle school students. With state-of-the art equipment and instruction, digital fabrication labs are developing a network of makers ready to excel in the next generation of advanced STEM careers. Additionally, this program fosters opportunities for experiential learning that allows students to develop skills of collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, communication, and adaptability.
