Jim Leonard STEM Fund

Jim Leonard believed that every child deserves a chance at an excellent education. He was passionate about STEM education—he earned both Mechanical Engineering and Business Master's Degrees—and felt it strengthens the individual while benefiting the community.

In addition to establishing and advising the STEM/Robotics clubs at the secondary school, he served on the District Accountability Committee and advocated for STEM education at all levels of public school.

At the request of Jim’s family, the foundation is managing this fund in Jim's honor to support STEM education, with an emphasis on robotics.

If you share Jim’s passion for public education and STEM, please donate here. All donations will be matched 100% by the Metzler Family Education Fund.

STEM Projects

With support from the Clear Creek School District and our generous partners, CCSF supports STEM projects to help students build essential skills.

Robotics

STEM and robotics have evolved from an extracurricular activity to scheduled middle school and high school classes. Stephanie Mellon, the Digital Teacher Librarian, has created collaborative spaces where students engage with technology and solve challenges. Her students feel comfortable asking questions, sharing ideas, taking risks, and testing their solutions.
