The South Carolina Engineering Cluster has been working to help launch a new type of school that will build the engineers of the future. Like my friend Bill Masters says, "It takes 22 years to build an engineer". Well, here in Greenville we are going to start building these engineers at age five at the new A.J. Whittenberg Elementary School of Engineering. Just think of the impact we can make to the Upstate and the Region if we build a new generation of engineers that are world class from age five and up. We could change the world. But, to start this change, we need your help now with specific projects for our new school and your ongoing support. One of the projects is a playground that the students can enjoy between classes. We need your donations to make this playground possible. For more information, please visit,

Remember, it will take 22 years to build this next generation of engineers and we need your help.
