After making the announcement Sanders handed a check to Education Secretary Betsey DeVos, who said the funds will go toward hosting a academic STEM camp for kids.
"Today's and tomorrow's economy requires students prepared for STEM careers," DeVos said. "I am grateful to the President for this generous gift. The President is committed to the nation's students and reforming education in America so that every child, no matter their zip code, has access to high a quality education."
