#MSUrbanSTEM Thanks Wipro!<\/p>\n

#MSUrbanSTEM Thanks\u00a0Microsoft<\/p>\n

Over this past summer I have had one of the best teaching\/learning experiences of my career.\u00a0Through a project funded by Wipro<\/a> (and with support from Microsoft<\/a>) we have the opportunity to work with 125 teachers in the Chicago Public Schools over the next three years. Wipro offered a grant of 2.8 million dollars to cover the cost of the grant. Thanks to Anurag Behar of Wipro for all his support. Microsoft sponsored\u00a0Surface 2 Pro devices for all our teachers.\u00a0A special shout out to Jim Ptaszynski at Microsoft Higher Education<\/a> for his support in making this happen for raising the possibility of extending this over the next two years as well. I had not worked with a Surface Pro before – but I am impressed. These devices hit the sweet spot between portability and power, work and play and our teachers love them.<\/p>\n

Our\u00a0teachers posed\u00a0for\u00a0a couple of group photos to thank Wipro and Microsoft for their support. (You can click on the images to see hi-res versions of the photos). You can find out more about this project by going to\u00a0msuurbanstem.org<\/a>\u00a0or by following @MSUrbanSTEM<\/strong> on twitter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
