K-12 STEM Activity Fund
Promoting Novel Ideas to Introduce Engineering to
Precollege Students: How Teachers Can Get IEEE-USA's K-12 STEM Activity Fund
IEEE-USA’s K-12 Literacy Committee’s K-12 STEM Activity Fund helps teachers
to sponsor innovation and creativity in or outside of the
classroom. These funds provide small amounts of
money for novel ideas that introduce engineering to students.
K-12 STEM Activity Fund
Requirements:
- The program/project must be a new
and/or unique idea*
- The program/project must take place in
2012†
- The teacher must work with an IEEE
member (the IEEE member can be a partner, mentor, or a resource
member)
* NOTE: The purpose of the K-12 STEM Activity Fund is to implement unique and new ideas/projects/programs.
K-12 STEM Activity Funds will not be provided for pre-existing or “canned”
projects such as FIRST Robotics Competitions, BEST Competitions, and
Project Lead the Way implementation unless it is an IEEE program
such as implementation of an IEEE Teacher In-Service Program.
Funds will typically not be provided for capital goods such
as laptops, printers, video recorders, etc. Funds awarded are
typically up to $500.
† NOTE: There is no specific
deadline. Applications are currently being accepted and will
be considered on a rolling case-by-case basis.
Preference will be for:
- Innovation
- Creativity
- Widespread classroom
applicability
- Engineering collaboration
- Shared results, outcomes
- Science, Technology, Engineering,
Mathematics (STEM) content, application
Don't have a specific activity or idea? Here are some curricula and/or activities that we typically fund:
