WOODSTOCK, Ga., April 23, 2015 - Wayne Stewart, demand manager at PPG Industries' aerospace application support center in Kennesaw, Georgia, presented a PPG Industries Foundation check to Kelly Burke (left) and Karen Zayance, teachers at Woodstock High School, to fund a program for nearly 140 students. The $1,000 Innovative Classroom Grant supports a project pairing engineering and physics students to create electricity-powered model airplanes.

"I'm excited to see these students take part in a project related to aerospace," Stewart said. "PPG is strongly committed to supporting the communities where it operates, especially by backing hands-on science- and math-based programs like this one that helps prepare students for future careers in advanced manufacturing."

The PPG Industries Foundation aims to create brighter, more colorful communities wherever PPG has a presence around the world. By investing in educational opportunities, we help grow today's skilled workforce and develop tomorrow's innovators in research and development, manufacturing, information technology and other careers related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics. With the support of our workforce, financial contributions and products furnished or funded by PPG, we help revitalize our communities.
