This meeting is the third of a series of Geothermal Dialogues that bring together major actors from the world of energy finance in developing countries, to explore how to scale energy deployment. Building upon the First Geothermal Dialogue, held in Copenhagen on 24 October 2014, and the Second Geothermal Dialogue, held in Munich on 2 March 2015, the meeting assembled countries receiving support from the CIF for geothermal projects and host countries involved in other non-CIF geothermal projects, donor countries, project developers and financiers, multilateral development banks, representatives of the CIF AU and a few selected additional participants.

Students as young as three will soon learn more about Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) through the Lancaster region’s first pre-K STEM classroom for students from income-qualified families, unveiled during a grand-opening ceremony held at Millersville University and attended by local officials and the Wolf Administration.
The new classroom, sponsored by Lancaster’s Community Action Partnership, is the first in the region to offer STEM instruction to students ages 3-5, giving these children the opportunity to engage with STEM learning from the very start of their learning journeys.
“The latest research in science and STEM education elevates the importance of our earliest learners engaging in high-quality science experiences,” said Matthew Stem, Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) Deputy Secretary for the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. “It shows that their inherent curiosity along with an ability to reason sets them up for science learning.”
Community Action Partnership CEO Dan Jurman added that the classroom provides a two-generation approach to fighting poverty, providing positive long-term outcomes for the community.
“We view early STEM education as a strategy in our work towards eliminating generational poverty,” he said. “With its placement at Millersville University, the classroom also gives priority to children of Millersville students, which will allow student-parents convenient, quality early childhood education for their kids, allowing them to finish their degree when they otherwise may have needed to drop out.”
Millersville University President Dr. Daniel A. Wubah noted that “the pre-K STEM classroom exemplifies Millersville University’s commitment to embracing a culture of exploration, creating a dynamic learning environment – in this case for children.”
“Additionally, community partnerships like ours with CAP is an example of our commitment to public mission and having a direct impact on the larger public good,” he said.
The classroom has been serving students since the start of the school year. In addition to the Community Action Partnership, local donors for the project include the Steinman Foundation, the High Foundation, Eurofins, the Junior League of Lancaster, and PPL.
Since taking office, Governor Wolf has doubled investments in early childhood education. The 2019-20 state budget Provides an increase of $265 million for Pre-K through 12, including $160 million for basic education, $25 million for Pre-K Counts, $5 million for Head Start, and $15 million for preschool Early Intervention.
As part of his commitment to science and technology education, the governor launched the innovative PAsmartOpens In A New Window initiative last year. The $40 million program supports K-12 computer science and STEM education, registered apprenticeships, and job training. Pennsylvania is among the national leaders in STEM funding and now ranks second in the country for investments in K-12 computer science education, according to the Education Commission of the States. Last year, the governor also successfully encouraged the State Board of Education to endorse computer science standards for K-12 to foster the alignment of instruction for students throughout the commonwealth.
