    PITTSBURGH, Aug. 15 /EMWNews/ -- Westinghouse Electric Company today

announced sponsorship of a grant for Middle and High Schools focusing on

science, technology or mathematics through a proposed hands-on project with

students.



    Administered through the company's speaker's bureau, N-Vision, the

grant is designed to encourage both teachers and students to think of a

creative project based on energy, math, science, or technology in the

context of worldwide political, economic and environmental realities.



    The contest is open to all U.S. middle and high schools in areas where

Westinghouse has a presence. Five middle or high schools will be awarded

$1,000 each to carryout their proposed project. Projects need to involve

students directly and incorporate community resources, interdisciplinary or

team-teaching principles.

the contest can be found on the Westinghouse website at:
