A new report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) finds that K-12 education systems around the United States – particularly some of those in rural areas – are facing significant challenges in fully realizing the benefits of Federal government funding for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.

Eighteen school districts across the state of North Carolina will receive a total of $800,000 in grant funding to help students develop computer science skills through coding and app development.

The Department of Defense (DoD) has awarded a total of $40 million to four major universities and minority-serving institutions to establish new research centers of excellence as part of its Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority-serving Institutions (HBCU/MI) Research and Education Program.
