Community Impact: Bitsight Partners with UP Education Network to Support STEM Learning
(Originally published by Bitsight)
At Bitsight, we are committed to helping the communities in which we live and work. We dedicate our time and resources to meaningful causes and initiatives that reflect our core values. I am incredibly proud and excited to share our most recent example of this - a new partnership with UP Education Network, a nonprofit school success organization that partners with school districts, parents and staff to significantly improve formerly struggling Massachusetts schools.
Through this partnership, Bitsight can support UP Education Network’s mission of advancing equity in education. It is an opportunity for us to help provide hands-on STEM learning experiences to students at a young age. By working with UP Education to provide thoughtful exposure to STEM career pathways, we can help open doors for students in our community, ultimately contributing to a more diverse workforce in the future.
With that goal in mind, we are incredibly excited to participate in the upcoming event, SPARK: UP’s Day of STEM exploration. A group of our employees are working diligently to prepare a hands-on, immersive STEM experience for students in grades 4-8 that will hopefully inspire another generation to become interested in tech.
“Our partnership with Bitsight comes at a pivotal moment for UP as we sharpen our focus on being a network of schools where students truly develop self determination and agency and are propelled towards the next chapter of their choosing,” says Hillary Casson, CEO of UP Education Network. “We are immensely grateful for Bitsight’s investment in our Pathways Fund as it will fuel innovative strategies that disrupt inequities our students, families and communities face. To do this work in partnership with an innovative and deeply thoughtful organization like Bitsight really is an honor.”
We are confident our investment will help UP Education Network continue to deliver a world class student experience with a focus on immersive, project-based STEM learning, identity affirming social emotional learning, and a deep commitment to equity. We look forward to sharing future updates about this partnership.
