Lindbergh High School will offer a new Biomedical Science course next year thanks to a $3,000 Dannette Ward Science Education Grant from Monsanto’s STEM Education Outreach Program. The grant is one of three that are being presented to St. Louis area schools this spring.
Sarah Nash, outreach communications specialist for Monsanto Company, presented LHS Honors Biology teacher Andrew Edwards with the grant on April 27. Edwards will work with the Science Department to create a new course for students through Project Lead the Way called Biomedical Sciences. Funds from the grant will be used to buy equipment for students to use in class, including Labquests, which allow students to use different technological instruments to collect, monitor and study data.
“We are very grateful to Monsanto for this grant, which will allow us to offer a cutting-edge course for high school students who are interested in pursuing the Health Professions field,” Edwards said.
The PLTW Biomedical Science course will allow high school students to take on real-world challenges such as discovering new cancer treatments or teaching healthy lifestyle choices to communities. Students will use the same tools available in hospitals and labs to engage in exciting hands-on activities, as they work together to find solutions to problems.
About The Dannette Ward Science Education Grant
The Dannette Ward Science Education Grant was formed by Monsanto’s Science and Agriculture Education Outreach Program volunteers to honor the accomplishments of retired Monsanto scientist Danette Ward, who has made numerous contributions to youth through science and agriculture education. In 2009, Ward was featured in People Magazine for her dedication to teaching St. Louis city students about the importance of agriculture and science, highlighting her work with students at Clyde C. Miller Academy and her establishment of the first inner city chapter of the National FFA Organization in St. Louis.
This past year, Volunteers of the Monsanto STEM Education Outreach Program (formerly the Science and Agriculture Education Outreach Program) donated 725 hours in area classrooms to earn a $9,000 award from The Monsanto Company to support STEM Education in area schools. The Monsanto STEM Education Outreach Program is awarding three $3,000 grants in all.
