For years EiE^®, Museum of Science, Boston has been partnering with National Grid to make an important impact in the lives of thousands of students and educators across the country. Through this partnership we’ve been able to provide world-class professional development to educators and distribute free engineering and computer science activities to make an impact in the classroom.
