The Dee Howard Education Fund (DHEDF) has announced the Launch of the Fund’s website and social media platforms.
The Mission of the DHEDF is to develop (in collaboration with others) programming, resources, curriculum, and initiatives to engage primarily underserved Pre-K thru 12 students in STEAM learning based on the use of automotive and/or aeronautical project-based learning pathways.
“Dee used to say, it’s amazing how much you can get done if you don’t care who gets the credit for it. DHEDF recognizes that there are many fine organizations throughout the U.S. who are doing great work in the Pre-K thru 12 sectors DHEDF is focused on, i.e., Automotive and Aerospace. “Our goal at DHEDF is to share their stories, spread the word about their great work, and create a data base of the work being done by DHEDF and others,” said Wayne Fagan, Chair.
A calendar of events is included on the website so stakeholders can organize their schedules to take advantage of the events being planned. In addition, the posting of announcements through the ‘News’ section is available. On the site’s Blog page, a forum for dialogue can be created so everyone can learn from each other and better serve their respective communities and students.
“To paraphrase Neil Armstrong, what we have launched today is a small first step, it is a work in process,” said Fagan. “The more it is used and the more information you provide to us, the more information we will be able to post and the more of a useful tool it will be for each of us.”
You are invited to visit the DHEDF website. If you would like to receive further communications from DHEDF please submit your name and email address on the home page of the website.
“So, our journey begins,” said Fagan. “As Dee used to say, I don’t know where we are heading but we are making good time. With your help, let’s see where this journey takes us. It should be an exciting ride.”
