Summit Utilities' Commitment to Community and Education through STEAM
The Summit STEAM Student of the Month program celebrates exceptional students in the Central Arkansas area who excel in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. Teachers are invited to submit applications for outstanding students, whose achievements are carefully reviewed. Each month, one student is selected and honored with a swag bag from Summit Utilities, featured on THV11, highlighted on our social media channels, and showcased on our website. This recognition aims to celebrate and inspire young talent in the STEAM fields.
In Fall’s 2024 school season, Summit supported STEAM educational programs for five Title I schools in Central Arkansas through programing provided by the Museum of Discovery. The monetary donation to support the initiative plays a key role in the museum's efforts to bring interactive STEAM learning experiences to students in underserved areas.
As the need for a skilled STEAM workforce continues to grow, hands-on education is critical to building interest and proficiency in these fields. The museum's outreach offers students a unique chance to explore STEAM careers and gain inspiration to pursue economic and professional opportunities. In Arkansas, where diversity in STEAM fields remains low, programs like these are vital for shaping a more inclusive, prepared workforce.
One of Summit’s core commitments is to education, with a special focus on STEAM. We believe that empowering students, teachers, and the general public with knowledge and literacy in these critical areas is essential for shaping a promising tomorrow.
Beyond the Summit STEAM Student of the Month program, we support educational efforts that emphasize STEAM disciplines, recognizing their importance in today's fast-paced, technology-driven world. Our efforts are designed to improve knowledge and literacy, inspire innovation, and prepare the next generation for the challenges and opportunities ahead. We collaborate with local schools, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations to support STEAM initiatives that make a real difference. These partnerships enable us to reach a wider audience and provide resources that help educators and students excel.
