Subaru Nurtures Science Lovers With Online Educational Resources

Subaru of America has recently announced that it will continue its long-term partnership with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), this time through the development of a library of science-focused educational resources for children stuck at home during the ongoing pandemic.

The library of resources, which was created by the AAAS STEM Education Program, aims to provide high-quality interactive online activities for children grades K-8. These activities will cover a variety of science disciplines including biology, astronomy, physics, and more. 

 “At Subaru, we have seen firsthand how a strong education in science, engineering and innovation can enrich children’s lives and benefit future generations,” said Alan Bethke, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Subaru of America. “While school may look different for some, we hope these resources created in partnership with AAAS help families expand their children’s worlds at home and prove just how fun learning can be.”

In addition to providing engaging learning activities for students at home, these programs are designed to be applied to a larger classroom setting as well, and can be incorporated into lesson plans for teachers.

“We are developing resources that encourage inquiry and discovery at home during a time when children may not be receiving as much hands-on science instruction,” said Suzanne Thurston, director of the AAAS STEM Education Program. “Activities are designed to be accessible and easy to navigate.”

Both families and teachers can access these unique resources at the AAAS/Subaru Prize for Excellence in Science Books website. Each Wednesday, new content will be posted on the AAAS/Subaru Book Prize social channels as well.

This expanded partnership is just the latest developments in the overarching Subaru Loves Learning initiative, part of the Subaru Love Promise commitment to broaden students’ horizons by making learning even more accessible.
