JOHNSTON COUNTY – Novo Nordisk Pharmaceutical Industries, a leading global healthcare company, has donated STEM kits to the Boys and Girls Club of Johnston County, reinforcing its commitment to enhancing educational opportunities for youth in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
The STEM kits, rich with educational tools such as Legos, microscopes, and magnetic blocks, provide practical, hands-on experiences designed to spark curiosity and foster critical thinking among students. These resources are integral in encouraging young learners to explore STEM fields and develop the necessary skills to succeed in the future.

We believe strongly that investing in the next generation of innovators also strengthens the foundation of our community’s future.”
The donation event was celebrated with an interactive session where club members engaged in various STEM activities, highlighting the practical application of the tools provided.
Kourtney Bowden, Club Director, expressed gratitude, noting, “Thanks to Novo Nordisk, our members have new opportunities to learn through play. These STEM kits are not just educational resources; they are gateways to imagination and discovery.”
The contribution is part of Novo Nordisk’s global commitment to social responsibility and educational support, striving to empower the next generation of leaders in STEM through community-based initiatives.
