Supporting Technology in Education
Savantage has created programs for high school students to promote technology and education. In one such outreach project, Savantage funded the creation of two new computer labs at Thurgood Marshall High School in Baltimore, Maryland. (Thurgood Marshall Press Release).
For this project, Savantage partnered with the City of Baltimore Mayor's Office of Employment Development, the Baltimore City Public School System, and Morgan State University to provide the underserved students with 60 fully equipped computer workstations. In addition to our financial contribution, we also committed the time of our staff and executives to personally interact with students as part of the labs' ongoing curriculum.

In a previous outreach, Savantage also donated a computer lab to students in an inner city school in Southeast, Washington, D.C and helped run the lab's program. Our initiatives, directed at high school students, reflect our belief that a strong educational foundation leads to success later in life.
Supporting the National Science Center

Savantage's Innovation Connection program also supports the National Science Center (NSC) in Augusta, Georgia. NSC is a partnership between the United States Army and the NSC, Inc. As a Champion Level - Traveling Exhibit sponsor, Savantage has made a commitment of over $100,000 to this organization. Savantage shares NSC's vision of exciting America's youth about math, science, and technology in a fun and interactive way.
The Innovation Connection program embodies Savantage's core values and supports our vision that everyone, regardless of social and economic barriers, is given the opportunity to gain the skills that will help each one to realize their potential in today's technology savvy world.
