Local nonprofit Project SYNCERE recipient of donation
CHICAGO, March 27, 2014 – Cubic Transportation Systems, Inc., announced today a $25,000 donation to Project SYNCERE (Supporting Youth’s Needs with Core Engineering Research Experiments). The Chicago-based nonprofit provides educational programs to youth in Chicago to increase the number of minority, female and underserved students pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
“We are proud to support Project SYNCERE and hope our gift can equip more students with the skills needed to succeed in the global market. By expanding the pool of technical talent right here in Chicago we can help fuel the growth of numerous technology incubators springing up across the region,” said Bob Deiter, regional director at Cubic Transportation Systems.
Project SYNCERE will use the donation to support its elementary and high school programs, summer STEM camps and workshops.
Cubic presented the check to Jason Coleman, co-founder and executive director of Project SYNCERE, at Wendell Green Elementary School on Chicago’s South Side. The Longwood Manor Elementary School partners with Project SYNCERE to implement its in-school enrichment program.
“This donation will allow us to support more students in underserved communities with free and low-cost STEM educational programs,” said Coleman. “We appreciate Cubic’s support in helping achieve our mission of empowering more of Chicago’s youth to succeed in these critical, growing fields.”
