WILMINGTON — The EastSide Charter School cut the ribbon on its new STEM hub Monday morning with high hopes that the facility will help students of all ages continue to study science and mathematics and unlock their potential.

The Chemours STEM Hub is a 41,000 square-foot facility complete with computer and science labs, classrooms and maker spaces, as well as an esports arena that is steps away from the EastSide Charter School. Officials hope the new facility will encourage students and adults alike to explore. The $27 million project also brought Delaware’s corporate partners like Chemours and Barclays to the table to invest in the east side of Wilmington, as well as state and federal funds.

“We’re trying to prepare our young people for their futures, and at the same time, we’re seeing that we’ve not adequately prepared the facilities to make that possible for all families, EastSide Charter CEO Aaron Bass told the Delaware Business Times. “Now, you have a space where not only can kids think and learn about STEM, but they’re able to do it alongside people who are professionals in that field.”
