BALTIMORE - TelAve -- STEM City Baltimore, a leading initiative dedicated to advancing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, has secured second-year funding through the leadership and support of Senator Cory V. McCray. This continued investment underscores Maryland's commitment to preparing students for a rapidly evolving, technology-driven future.

Owned and operated by Career Communications Group (CCG), one of the nation's leading media companies focused on STEM and workforce development, STEM City Baltimore has become a critical platform for delivering innovative educational programming, including cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) curriculum.

As AI continues to reshape industries and redefine workforce demands, expanding access to AI education in Maryland schools is no longer optional—it is essential. Programs like STEM City Baltimore are helping bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world skills, equipping students with the knowledge needed to compete in a global digital economy.

"Artificial intelligence is transforming every sector, from healthcare to transportation to national security," said Dr. Tyrone D. Taborn, CEO of Career Communications Group. "Ensuring that Maryland students—particularly those in underserved communities—have access to AI education is critical to building an inclusive and future-ready workforce."

The renewed funding comes at a pivotal moment for Maryland's media and education landscape. On April 14, 2026, the Maryland General Assembly passed the Local News for Maryland Communities Act (SB 459), a first-in-the-nation initiative designed to strengthen local journalism by directing at least 50% of state agency advertising spending to local media outlets.

This landmark legislation reinforces the role of trusted, community-based media organizations like Career Communications Group in delivering impactful content and educational programming. By aligning public investment with local media infrastructure, Maryland is creating new opportunities to amplify initiatives like STEM City Baltimore and expand their reach.

"Local media plays a vital role in informing, educating, and empowering communities," said Taborn. "With this legislation, Maryland is not only supporting journalism but also enabling organizations like ours to scale programs that inspire the next generation of innovators."

STEM City Baltimore continues to serve as a model for integrating media, education, and workforce development. Through partnerships with schools, industry leaders, and policymakers, the initiative is helping position Maryland as a national leader in AI education and STEM innovation.
