HTN: UB Gets Science Grant

The University at Buffalo will aim to keep kids interested in science, engineering and technology, thanks to a quarter-million-dollar grant from National Grid. The money will be used to create a five-year program to encourage students in grades six through 12 to ponder careers in biomedical and green-energy fields. UB officials say the grant allows them to reach students early in their academic careers and get them curious about engineering jobs.
