Boeing Donates $10 Million to Science Education at Chicago Museums
The Boeing Company is contributing $10 million to support science education for Chicago area youth.
The donation will be split equally between Chicago's Adler Planetarium and the Museum of Science and Industry where the money will be used to create educational exhibits and programming that will inspire young people to pursue careers in areas associated with science and technology.
"In the years ahead, the Adler will inspire the next generation of explorers," said Paul H. Knappenberger Jr., president of the Adler Planetarium. "We are especially grateful to Boeing for a commitment to motivating young people to understand the important role science and math will play in their futures."
