Did you know? The #DUMBODROP is more than just a party.

THE #DUMBODROP itself is a fundraiser for DUMBO's local Title 1 public STEAM schools, PS307 Elementary School and the Dock Street Middle School.

PS 307 ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

An elementary school focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). PS307 encompasses every child from Pre-K to Grade 5. students are immersed in STEM studies throughout their day and within all academic subjects.

THE DOCK STREET MIDDLE SCHOOL

A middle school focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering, art and Math (STEAM) with a goal to foster curiosity, independence and problem solving in young people so that they are able to adapt to an ever-changing and complex world.

IN 2018, #DUMBODROP HELPED GIVE OUR SCHOOLS THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO HELP OUR KIDDOS SHINE.

With #DumboDrop funds, PS307 & The Dock Street School bought materials for their art and music programs; purchased microbits & adafruit equipment, giving students  hands-on experiences with electronics, programming and circuitry; supported their student government bodies, got new soccer jerseys, sent students on a field trip to Harvard, where they participated in a panel of STEM Harvard  students, toured the Engineering and Applied Math departments, and had fun at a cookout hosted by the Black Man Forum.
