Business + K-12 Education Partnerships
Giti Math and Science Award Program
From describing the Earth’s continental land forms to applying physics to an egg drop, Chester County students demonstrate impressive STEAM skills in the Giti Math & Science Award annual competition.
Since the 2016-17 school year, Giti Tire has sponsored a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) competition each year in conjunction with the Chester County School District. A winning entry is selected from each of the elementary, middle school and high school divisions.
Growing the IT Talent Pipeline
IT-oLogy has helped more than 100,000 K-12 students and more than 13,000 educators explore IT through career fairs, competitions and Cyber Saturdays.
In 2008 the University of South Carolina (USC) and BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina partnered with IBM to form IT-oLogy. The partnership's goal is to encourage young people to learn the skills needed to manage enterprise systems and large-scale computers that process high volume transactions. Today IT-oLogy is a non-profit collaboration of companies, academic institutions and other organizations dedicated to growing the IT talent pipeline, fostering economic development and advancing the IT profession.
