Several of the activities are being held with long-time nonprofit partners, including Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Connemara Conservancy, PENCIL, Mass Audubon's Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary, and Robert Moses State Park. "CA Technologies work with PENCIL- through ongoing school partnerships and, critically, its immersive support for student opportunities in STEM research and development-have helped create a powerful sequence of youth development experiences," said Gregg Betheil, President, PENCIL. "CA Technologies has long been an industry leader and an ideal PENCIL partner, helping us inspire the next generation, reinforcing the advancement of STEM learning, and enabling us to continue our mission of connecting students to success."

CA Technologies is a founding sponsor of the revolutionary "People Like Me" program; which aims to show girls - aged 11 to 14 - role models of young women like them, who are happy working in tech today. "We need motivated, properly trained, well-equipped STEM teachers to prepare and inspire Europe's next generation - and collaboration between schools and industry is an essential step towards achieving this. STEM Alliance is very pleased to have CA Technologies onboard as a founding partner to help bridge this gap," said Marc Durando, Executive Director of European Schoolnet, a network of 31 European Ministries of Education.
