Chuck Lorre Family Foundation and 'Young Sheldon' team launch public school STEM initiative
Continuing its commitment to fund innovative efforts in STEM education, The Chuck Lorre Family Foundation (TCLFF) today announced the creation of a new grant program — The Young Sheldon STEM Initiative — inspired by the hit comedy series 'Young Sheldon'. The program was created to foster excitement for learning in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), specifically in support of our nation’s public schools, teachers and students.
'Young Sheldon' executive producer/TCLFF founder, Chuck Lorre, enrolled fellow executive producers Steven Molaro and Jim Parsons, Warner Bros. Television Group and CBS to co-fund two-year educational grants totaling more than $600,000.00 which will be awarded to 19 select elementary, middle and high schools in Southern California, where Young Sheldon is primarily produced, and East Texas, where the show is set.
