Discover Business Technology Team Celebrates Valentine’s Day by Volunteering to Build STEM Kits for Students

Programming example

Discover Financial Services’ Business Technology (BT) organization celebrated Valentine’s Day by spreading our love for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) !

120 BT employees built 300 STEM kits to be distributed at North Chicago Community Partners (NCCP) free After School Enrichment Program.

EVP, CIO Jason Strle and NCCP’s Founder and Executive Director, Jennifer Grumhaus, opened the event with inspiring remarks about the impact attendees’ volunteerism will have on North Chicago’s scholars.

DJ One Chance kept the energy high during kit assembly, followed by photo booth fun, and connecting with colleagues over light bites.

Attendees were thrilled to hear closing remarks from BT’s newest VP, Sonal Sharma (सोनल शर्मा), who brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise!

I’m grateful to work for a company, business unit and team, that prioritizes equity not only in our company, but also in our community.

Thank you to everyone who made this event a memorable moment for BT to have a great time while giving to a great cause!

Special thanks to NCCP leadership and staff—this event would not have been possible without you! It was the sweetest Valentines treat to work alongside some of my former NCCP colleagues again!
