Maricopa County And Amazon Partner To Provide Teachers Free Technology For Classrooms

Getting technology into classrooms has been expensive in recent years. But now, teachers in Maricopa County can go to a big warehouse and take whatever they want off of the shelves to use in their classrooms — for free.

It’s called the STEM Resource Center and it’s the result of a new partnership between Amazon and the Maricopa County Superintendent’s Office.

So how did this all come to be? The Show spoke with County Superintendent Steve Watson more about it.
