CBS’ "Young Sheldon" and the Chuck Lorre Family Foundation are partnering with DonorsChoose.org with a $200,000 matching gift to support middle school applied science projects.
The foundation is continuing its support of public school STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education by doubling all donations made on the DonorsChoose.org site for school projects tagged with the "Young Sheldon" logo.
To date, teachers at 83 percent of the nation’s public schools have created a classroom project request on the website.
“On behalf of all of us at Young Sheldon, we are honored to continue our support of public school STEM education and teachers by partnering with DonorsChoose.org,” Lorre said.
“Our public school teachers are truly unsung heroes, and it’s shocking that, on average, they spend about $479 of their own money for classroom projects. We hope this matching gift will, in some small way, help teachers and students bring their classroom dreams to life.”
