Tonkin of the Gorge Subaru proudly sponsored the 2024 Chenowith Elementary School Family Fun STEM Night on May 16th. This event, aimed at engaging students and their families in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) activities, was made even more special by the generous contributions of Tonkin of the Gorge Subaru. The dealership provided funds for STEM games and activities, ensuring that every student could continue learning at home with their families.

 

STEM education lays the foundation for critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation, which is crucial in elementary school. According to the U.S. Department of Education, students who engage in STEM activities at a young age are more likely to pursue careers in these fields, which are projected to grow by 8.8% from 2018 to 2028. They are also 117% more lucrative than non-STEM careers. Early exposure to STEM can also help bridge the gender and minority gaps in these industries. Events like the Family Fun STEM Night at Chenowith Elementary are vital in sparking interest and enthusiasm in these subjects. They help to level the playing field and provide all students with the chance to thrive academically and personally.

 

Tonkin of the Gorge Subaru's sponsorship of the 2024 Chenowith Elementary School Family Fun STEM Night underscores its role as a valuable community partner. Under the leadership of General Manager Nima Behboodi, they are dedicated to giving back to the community, with a particular focus on supporting children and their education. Tonkin of the Gorge Subaru demonstrates a commitment to fostering a love of learning and curiosity in young minds. Their partnership with Chenowith Elementary School highlights the dealership's ethos of community engagement and support.
