STEM lab and Whisper Room officially open to
serve as an inspiring place for kids and teens to follow their
interests in science, technology, engineering and math
loanDepot, Inc. ("LDI" or "Company") (NYSE: LDI), a leading
provider of home lending solutions that enables customers to
achieve the dream of homeownership, today announced the completion
of the newly renovated and expanded STEM lab at Boys & Girls
Clubs of Greater Dallas’ (BGCD) Oak Cliff branch, which was funded
by its 2022 Major League Baseball "Home Means Everything" RBI
campaign. Functioning as the central hub for STEM initiatives
across Dallas, the revamped lab will offer kids and teens access to
invaluable resources and opportunities for growth.
The STEM lab was unveiled with a ribbon cutting ceremony last
night, where kids and teens from the Club had the opportunity to
test out the new equipment and perform an experiment with the help
of members of loanDepot’s Plano-based Information Technology
team.
"loanDepot is dedicated to making a positive difference in the
communities where we live and work," said loanDepot SVP of Software
Engineering, Sangeeth Ponathil, who participated in the ribbon
cutting event. "This project holds special significance for us, as
it supports the development of the next generation of IT
professionals right here in our own backyard. We’re proud to have
contributed to the Boys & Girls Clubs in Dallas, creating a
safe environment that inspires kids and teens to explore their
interests in STEM and cultivate the skills needed for fulfilling
careers in STEM related fields."
The Oak Cliff Club's STEM lab transformation included the
creation of a new "Whisper Room" designed for audio and video
content creation. Additionally, the lab was equipped with modern
technology and tools needed for a variety of programs including
robotics, computer learning, Esports, and a host of other tech
capabilities for the kids and teens it serves.
“It can be hard to keep kids’ attention these days, especially
as they get older,” said Karen Tan, BGCD President & CEO. “With
this revamped STEM lab and the new whisper room, we’re able to
offer even more engaging programs to keep our kids and teens
interested and excited while getting them thinking and expanding
their minds. These new facilities will not only elevate the
learning experience, but also empower young minds with the skills
and knowledge they need to succeed in today's tech-driven world.
We’re thankful to loanDepot helping bring this project to
life.”
As an integral part of BGCD, the STEM lab will help further the
nonprofit’s mission to help young people to reach their full
potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
