The Tech Interactive in San Jose received a $1.65 million grant from semiconductor leader ASML to expand hands-on STEM learning over three years. The funding will support free and subsidized field trips for K-12 students, especially those from under-resourced communities, girls, and first-generation learners. It also aims to increase participation in The Tech Challenge, a program where students design and solve engineering problems. This partnership seeks to inspire more young people to pursue STEM careers by removing barriers and providing mentorship opportunities from ASML employees.
