“Hands-on technical education is critical to our Arizona economy,” said Tom Mehlert, AZ StRUT Executive Director. “We’re grateful to partner with onsemi to expand our resources and impact for Techie Labs and Camps. Together we will directly engage at least 450 young learners using donated electronics from our community.” 

onsemi makes Techie Labs and Camps possible due to its commitment to build brighter futures through funding STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) Education activities for the underprivileged youth in underserved communities. These efforts will help and inspire young scholars to get excited about STEAM. Since 2016, onsemi has funded more than $8.2 million USD in grants, employee matching and dollars-for-doers for employee volunteerism. 

“Through our Giving Now program, onsemi is driving positivity forward by creating meaningful change for our planet and every community that we live and work in around the globe,” said Tyler Lacey, board president for the ON Semiconductor Foundation, a program of Giving Now at onsemi. “On behalf of the Foundation, we’re proud to support the work of AZ StRUT as we work toward making the world better together.”
