  Microsoft Funds Massachusetts After-School Learning Programs Focused on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math
Time: 09:22 EST/14:22 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

When Greg Schwartz first started After School Student Enterprise Teams (ASSET), an after-school entrepreneurship program for at-risk high school students, all he had were a few ice cream carts. He met with students after school, organized work teams and coached them through the process of running an ice cream business to teach critical business skills, including tracking daily sales, calculating profit and using technology to complete market research and promote products. ASSET, now recognized as having the potential of becoming a replicable education model, was one of four programs to receive a Massachusetts Education and Innovation Grant today from Microsoft Corp.’s U.S. Partners in Learning program.

Recipients of the Massachusetts Education and Innovation Grants will each receive from $50,000 to $150,000 over the next year to further develop their programs. The grants are designed to support innovative education programs in Massachusetts in the area of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), with a special focus on after-school learning. The grants are funded by Microsoft’s U.S. Partners in Learning program, aimed at providing educators and schools with the tools and support they need to deliver on the promise of technology. In addition to being innovative, after-school programs focused on STEM learning, programs that win Massachusetts Education and Innovation Grants are scalable, collaborative, sustainable, sensitive to issues of equity, and successfully embrace the use of technology in teaching and learning.

#1, Or it is part of well known and well documented efforts to actually help people - which is in the mission statement of Microsoft Corp.’s U.S. Partners in Learning program.

Damn those people and businesses that just help others without asking much in return!

Latch may be a teeny bit insightful, in that Microsoft does tend to pick and choose recipeints of the handouts from Microsoft, not from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, based on anticipated bottom line impact. That's still okay. Its their business to run however they see fit.

#2,3: Take another look, guys. It's just Parkkker being silly again. I have no problem with MS donating to schools, although I'd rather see them donate money instead of MS coupons & software. I know that it's more of an attempt to get kids on the MS bus early than some altruistic endeavour, but there's nothing illegal or unethical about that.

#4 By 23275 (172.16.10.31) at 4/19/2007 4:50:03 PM
#4, That may be, but Microsoft and its employees do both and in spades. If they didn't give so much back so consistently, one could conclude, without being critical, that it was also an effort to read-on new users early on; however, against the history of all the cash they have paid out for so many related and other initiatives, I have to conclude that they are at least as sincere in wanting to help as they are in seeing some other benefit.

#5 By 3653 (68.52.143.149) at 4/19/2007 7:06:19 PM
latch, what have YOU done in the area of charity... that allows you to criticize so?

#6 By 20505 (216.102.144.11) at 4/19/2007 9:16:55 PM
Whoa #6,

Let’s not make this personal. Everyone’s personal donation to charity is their own business.

Business, and for that matter governments, almost always contribute to causes that are most likely to be beneficial to their own self interests.

This is certainly true in my own case, as a business person my donation are very different than my personal ones.

#4 "It's just Parkkker being silly again"

Not me. I don't need to pretend to be Latch. to make Latch look like a moron.

By the way ... when do you plan to try Vista -- instead of just pretending to?


#8 By 3653 (68.52.143.149) at 4/19/2007 11:43:42 PM
oldog, he can choose to speak for his employer... if he chooses.

point being... we are talking about an extremely generous charitable organization (Microsoft). Of all the criticisms, that one holds the least water.

ps... I just got selected for another free apple iphone. How lucky can one man be. I've won every day this week.

#10: Close, but no cigar. Latch was talking about Microsoft, not the B&M Gates Foundation, which is a separate entity run with different goals. The Gates Foundation is more personal, and Microsoft is more business. No one can possibly criticize the good that Bill Gates is doing throught the Foundation.

#11 By 37 (76.210.78.134) at 4/20/2007 10:38:28 AM
The Foundation investments stems from the Microsoft financials including stocks. Without Microsoft, the foundation would be non-existent.

#11 "No one can possibly criticize the good that Bill Gates is doing throught the Foundation."

But people do. All the time. Including Latch.

#13 By 37047 (216.191.227.68) at 4/20/2007 11:44:09 AM
#12: So, if I had Microsoft stock, and I gave some of the money I made from it to charity, then Microsoft should get the credit for it?

#13: Show one example, with link, where Latch directly criticizes the B&M Gates Foundation and the work they do. Just one will suffice.

#14 By 15406 (216.191.227.68) at 4/20/2007 3:30:25 PM
#6: Well, mini-moore, the new PC I just bought was courtesy of a gift card I was given in appreciation for several years of volunteer work. Pffft!

#14: Why do you waste time calling out Parkkker's lies? You know he never backs up what he says unless its an out of context quote from 10 years ago.

#15 By 32132 (64.180.219.241) at 4/20/2007 10:07:02 PM
#15 Volunteering for the FSF by spreading hate doesn't count as real charity work.
