Maglio Family STEM Center
Project Overview
In the fall of 2019, The Benjamin School opened the Maglio Family STEM Center in its North Palm Beach campus. The 13,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility houses the Lower and Middle School STEM program with two floors complete with laboratories, maker spaces, and an aqua lab.
An important part of our STEM curriculum across all three divisions, the STEM Center is inspiring a new generation of innovators not only in the sciences but across all disciplines. Our innovative curriculum demands that each subject have a STEM application including English, Social Studies, and Geography.
Philanthropy at Work
The new Maglio Family STEM Center is the result of a $5 Million philanthropic investment championed by our Board of Trustees.
$3,586,600 Raised
$5,000,000 Goal
Maglio Family STEM Center
The international STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) movement is at the core of the 21st century skill set, encouraging students to understand that no body of knowledge exists in isolation. The Maglio Family STEM center promotes an integrated curriculum where these four important subject areas are presented in conjunction with each other. Already a focus for students in every grade level, STEM teaching strategies will have room to grow in an inquiry-based, collaborative, laboratory setting. The Berlin Family Foundation, led by grandparents Bill and Madeline Maglio, contributed the lead gift of $2.5 million to help make this one-of-a-kind facility a reality for students on our Lower/Middle School campus.
INVEST NOW, LEAVE A LEGACY
We still have more than $1 Million left to fundraise in order to reach our goal. You can take part by investing now in a room naming or donor wall opportunity, while leaving your family's legacy behind in this high-profile new facility that will serve Benjamin students for years to come.
