Midlands Science gets €5,000 funding boostMidlands Science is one of 28 non-profit organisations from across Ireland and Northern Ireland to receive a funding boost of at least €5,000 from this year's Coca-Cola Thank You Fund. Midlands Science is an award-winning not-for-profit organisation which promotes STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths) by developing programmes and events for young people to explore and engage with science in the Midland counties. The aim is to encourage young people to consider a career in STEM and to raise awareness of the value of STEM in our society and economy. Agnese Filippi, Country Manager, Coca-Cola Ireland said the company recognises the importance of supporting organisations that "empower our talented and passionate young people, who are the future leaders of tomorrow." She added that, although it was " a challenging process" it was incredibly enlightening and rewarding experience to hear from the vast number of community groups available to support vulnerable young people.
