NextEra Energy Resources Grants $50,000 STEM Classroom Makeover to Parker Unified School District

Parker, AZ. - NextEra Energy Resources, one of America's largest energy infrastructure developers, has awarded a $50,000 Classroom Makeover Grant to Parker Unified School District through its charitable arm, the NextEra Energy Foundation. This grant underscores NextEra Energy Resources' decades-long commitment to the communities we serve in Arizona, as well as our dedication to advancing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education within these local communities.

The STEM Classroom Makeover Grant provides transformational learning opportunities by improving infrastructure, technology, and resources such as software, equipment, and teacher training. The grant aims to enhance STEM curriculum and increase student exposure to STEM education and careers. The NextEra Energy Foundation selected Parker Unified School District for this grant because of our 15-year commitment to working with Colorado River Indian Tribes. We've collaborated to make sure every NextEra Energy Resources project gets built the right way - with tribal voices and perspectives guiding the process from day one.

Parker Unified School District will utilize the funds awarded to purchase STEM supplies, including interactive coding robots and modular electrical connectors. The interactive coding robots are programmable educational devices designed to teach children the fundamentals of coding and robotics through engaging, hands-on activities. Modular electrical connectors are components that safely join multiple wires together in electrical circuits, creating secure, organized connections that can be easily maintained or modified. These will allow students to build and experiment with electrical systems, making them perfect for hands-on STEM learning. These devices will provide students with practical experience with electrical engineering concepts while building problem-solving skills they'll use throughout their STEM education.

"We are incredibly grateful for this generous grant from NextEra Energy Resources," said Brad Sale, superintendent of Parker Unified School District. "This support is aligned with our mission to offer success-oriented learning activities. The funding will allow us to provide more comprehensive, hands-on STEM education, helping our students reach their full potential in academic and vocational areas. It's an investment in their futures and our community."

"Supporting education, especially in STEM, is one of the most impactful ways we can contribute to our communities," said Kyle Whittier, director of renewable energy development at NextEra Energy Resources. "We are excited to play a role in enriching students' educational experiences by fostering a greater interest in STEM subjects. We look forward to seeing the positive impact on the students and the community."

This grant is part of the STEM Classroom Makeover Grant initiative, which aims to bring advanced educational resources to underserved schools. Last year, 10 schools benefited from similar grants, emphasizing the importance of supporting STEM education across the nation.
