The Foundation provides opportunities for kids to play in safe environment, live healthy lifestyles, gain access to STEM education, and learn to make productive choices for their futures.

Thank you to Constellation for your partnership and support to provide a #STEMCenter to the Crossroads School! Students will have the opportunity to explore and learn robotics, programming, engineering, coding, and so much more. #STEMeducation | #youthdevelopment
Inspired this morning by the joy and smiles of the Crossroads students as we celebrated their new STEM center. 'This is a true partnership with our neighbors, and we are honored and grateful.' James Bond 'We are tremendously excited for our new STEM lab. This is another part of what makes us unique and adds to our diverse and wonderful community. The teachers here never give up on us, and the students here always strive to be the best we can be.' Anna, 8th grade Crossroads Student 'This is an exciting moment to open the new STEM center together, and a wonderful extension of the longstanding partnership including mentoring and the many other activities we do together.' Jorge Acevedo Grateful for the Living Classrooms Foundation and Crossroads School teams, in partnership with the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation and the Constellation team for bringing this wonderful new resource to fruition! #PoweringCommunities

🏎 Bringing #STEM to the racetrack! 🏎 Last Friday, thanks to Group 1001 and Gainbridge, we partnered with Andretti Global to bring 50 students from Metro Nashville Public Schools to Nashville Superspeedway to see how #science, #technology, #engineering, and #math plays a huge role in INDYCAR! Students had the opportunity to speak with Gainbridge athletes' Colton Herta (winner of the Music City Grand Prix!) and Marcus Ericsson on how STEM impacts their day to day as well as tour the Andretti and Firestone Garages. Thank you to our incredible partners for making our #STEM dreams come true! #STEMeducation | #youthdevelopment
