April 26, 2023 – Phoenix – Hargray today announced the winners of its fifth annual “Dream Bigger” social media campaign, which awards $2,500 each to two schools and organizations providing K-12 students with STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education.

“Helping provide our future leaders with access to hands-on learning opportunities through the ‘Dream Bigger’ campaign aligns with our continued commitment to the communities we serve,” said Trish Niemann, Vice President of Communications Strategy. “STEM education sets these young students up for success, and we are honored to be part of their learning journey.”

Contestants submitted a written entry outlining how the award would be used to fund their STEM projects, and how the projects benefit students. Determined by public voting, the winners of the $2,500 awards are: 

•    Bluffton High School – Bluffton, South Carolina
Each year, Bluffton High School students in the civil engineering and architecture class team up with students from the fire fighter program for a cross-curricular project that utilizes computer-aided drafting software to design a mock structure that will be used for fire-fighting instruction. The award will help purchase software and related teaching supplies.

•    Estill Middle School – Estill, South Carolina
The award will help Estill Middle School provide instruction in robotics and algorithms to develop students’ problem solving, teamwork and attention-to-detail skills.
