“Science helps us to understand our place in the world, while also enabling us to change it. Fluency and proficiency in STEM fields helps our children to become adults who not only control their own economic destiny, but also can make others healthier, safer, more comfortable, and more understanding. [We] are proud to support the Ottawa Hills Schools Foundation to help expand this tremendous opportunity for the young people of the village.”
