THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Education, STEM, Rural Youth, Community, Idaho
Deadline: Feb. 3, 2020
“The next generation of Idaho jobs will require a flexible set of skills that include creativity, communication, collaboration and problem-solving. We can cultivate these skills – and increase economic opportunity for our children – through an educational approach that centers on discovery, experimentation and design (maker-centered learning). These are learning processes that can happen not only in advanced science and math classes but across curricula and for all age groups, setting up youth for success in an interdisciplinary, 21st-century workforce.
This opportunity is designed for rural schools or organizations who want to introduce local educators to the methods and applications of maker-centered learning, strengthen community partnerships, and activate new community leaders in STEM education. Recipients will host a two-day STEM engagement workshop, developed and led by the STEM Action Center, in Summer 2020, that will provide strategies and resources for educators to integrate a maker-centered approach in their programs and classrooms. The grant will also provide funding for the Lead Organization and up to five Partner Organizations to implement maker-centered learning projects in Fall 2020.”
Funder: Idaho STEM Action Center
