Duke Energy has awarded $2.7 million in grants to 52 schools and education organizations throughout the state, including one to Camp Kilowatt, offered each summer at Wayne Community College.

The grants, from the Duke Energy Foundation, enhance programs and initiatives focused on childhood reading proficiency and STEM, or science, technology, engineering and math learning.

WCC received $28,048 for Camp Kilowatt, a camp for middle and high school students. The program provides hands on learning opportunities that engage students and build interest in STEM fields.
