TPA congratulates the Discovery Cube Orange County (a TPA client) for being awarded a grant in the amount of $3,468,952 from the Cultural, Community, and Natural Resources Grant Program administered by the California Natural Resources Agency.
The Discovery Cube will use these funds for the Visitor Enrichment Experience Project which is focused on enhancing the visitor’s experience by aligning their education programs to California’s Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and through upgrades to the Discovery Cube’s ability to adapt to the unavoidable impacts of climate change.
This latest achievement is another example of the commitment of Discovery Cube leadership to inspire, educate, and impact the community through their core initiatives of STEM proficiency, early learning, healthy living, and environmental stewardship.
Congratulations, Discovery Cube Orange County!
