You may have seen the Wilkes Science in Motion (SIM) vans around campus, but did you know that SIM is a PA Dept of Ed funded program that provides high quality loaner lab equipment and curriculum to PA middle and high school students at no cost to the districts? Wilkes SIM services 80 school districts within 60 miles of Wilkes and exposes 44,000+ students to advanced STEM topics their schools couldn’t otherwise afford.
As we approach the annual PA State Budget approval process we are asking you to advocate for continued SIM program funding! Please consider signing our change.org petition (https://www.change.org/Support-SIM) or writing a letter to your local legislators (Find Your Legislator – PA General Assembly (state.pa.us)) in support of this valuable program.
