Volkswagen Sponsors School Science Programs

Feb 24, 2017

Volkswagen has partnered with the state of Tennessee, home of their Chattanooga assembly plant, to establish a $1 million fund for the purpose of setting up science labs in nearby middle and high schools. Called Volkswagen eLabs, these labs will provide students with access to exciting emerging technologies such as 3D printing, robotics, renewable energy kits, programmable microcomputers, and more.

“At Volkswagen Chattanooga, hands-on learning is a crucial part of our educational programs and we are very pleased to partner with the State of Tennessee to bring the opportunity for laboratory-based science exploration to engage the minds of students here in Hamilton County,” said Christian Koch, President and CEO of Volkswagen Chattanooga. “Volkswagen places the highest priority on education at all levels and we are proud to continue our support for education here in Tennessee.”
