Overview
Hewlett Packard (HP) is committed to helping teachers and students around the world “re-imagine” the classroom by funding programs that will help drive innovation in education. HP aims to support teachers, not just technol- ogy: when you combine exemplary teaching with the right technologies to create a new learning experience, student achievement increases.
As the world’s largest technology company, HP offers educators a valuable perspective into the skills employers will look for in the future. In 2009, HP donated over $17 million dollars through the Innovations in Education program to 140 programs; in the U.S., HP awarded grants to educational causes and institutions totaling more than $9 million. HP has been commit- ted to education for more than 65 years and has invested more than $250 million in education in the last nine years. HP believes that innovation is required to support and sustain education gains in classrooms. This does not simply mean bringing change through technology, but fi nding individuals and programs that are changing the way education and technology interact.
HP believes that education helps maintain and grow global competitiveness. We also believe that nations must nurture and invest in a highly educated workforce, with a particular emphasis on courses in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). In addition to being core to HP’s business, these areas are fostering the next generation of workers, entrepreneurs, and high-tech engineers essential for innovation and growth.
