Toyota’s Driving Possibilities Initiative Funds New STEM-Based Playground for Indiana Students

July 31, 2024

Cheers rang out at a recent ribbon-cutting ceremony for the unveiling in Indiana of a recent project that was made possible through a grant from Toyota USA Foundation’s Driving Possibilities initiative. The fanfare was reserved for the dedication of the new playground at Princeton Community Primary School for Pre-K and kindergartners in Princeton, Indiana.

The project was accomplished through Driving Possibilities, an initiative of Toyota USA Foundation with funding from Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) and Toyota Financial Services (TFS). The initiative helps to put students in the driver’s seat and sets them up with access to educational programs that are inclusive, future-focused, and responsive to workforce demands.

Investing in Future STEM Leaders
Driving Possibilities, a multi-year initiative for the Toyota Indiana community, supports the expansion of hands-on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The initiative also focuses on the essential needs and services for students, teachers and families across the company’s operational communities nationwide.

Some of the program’s initial funds were distributed to North Gibson School Corporation in southern Indiana to provide access to quality Pre-K education, resources to support student mental health and multi-language learning, as well as STEM programs.
