Sparklight®, a leading broadband provider, invites schools and organizations serving K-12 students to enter its 7th annual “Dream Bigger” contest for the opportunity to win $2,500 to fund their science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) project or club.
“Sparklight has long recognized the vital role STEM education plays in preparing students for future success,” said Trish Niemann, Vice President of Communications Strategy. “Our annual Dream Bigger contest supports initiatives that introduce students to STEM concepts early, igniting a passion that can shape their futures for a lifetime.”
K-12 schools and organizations in communities throughout the 24 states Sparklight serves may enter to win simply by sharing a photo and a written summary outlining how the money will be used to fund their technology project – whether for equipment, competition fees, curriculum development, field trips or other materials – and how it benefits students. Twelve winners will receive a $2,500 donation.
Since 2019, Sparklight has awarded $150,000 to STEM programs across its footprint through the Dream Bigger initiative. Entries will be accepted February 18 through March 11 at sparklight.com/contest. Finalists will be selected by Sparklight, and the 12 winners will be determined by public online voting from March 13 through March 19 at sparklight.com/contest.
The winning schools and organizations will be highlighted on Sparklight’s social media channels, including Facebook and Instagram.
