    • Gregg Anderson Academy: $5,000 for materials for Project Lead the Way, which is the nation’s leading provider of K-12 science, technology, engineering and math programs that create activity-, project- and problem-based curriculum and teacher professional development models that help students develop the skills needed to succeed in the global economy;
    • Institute of Flight: $2,620 to support the Education Financial Assistance program and STEAM education programs, including robotics, drones and 3D printing;

    • Palmdale High School: $4,000 for the Solar Car Challenge, which is designed to motivate students to pursue a career path in science, engineering and alternative energy;
    • Regents University of California Los Angeles: $7,395 to support training and development programs, networking opportunities, scholarships, outreach and advocacy activities provided by the Society of Women Engineers University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA);
    • Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs, Inc.: $6,000 to fund Coding Camp for 30 girls in the Los Angeles Unified School District who do not have access to supplemental enrichment resources outside of school time;
    • Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers: $5,000 to support the Noche De Ciencias (Night of Science) event, which increases awareness of STEM fields among Hispanic, African-American and Asian students and their parents;

    “We are proud to support organizations that help build the skills and knowledge required by advanced manufacturers like PPG that serve the aerospace industry,” said Tim Behmlander, PPG GM, Aerospace, Americas.
     
    The PPG Foundation donated an additional $62,000 to 12 organizations in Alabama during 2017 on behalf of PPG Aerospace’s Huntsville facility.
