STEM Program Grant Funding
We are partnering with schools and community organizations around the country to provide programming that aligns with the parameters of their grant funding. State standards and research-based practices are central to Science Explorers lessons, students just think it’s fun! We can help customize an after-school program, classroom enrichment, community outreach, and/or camp program that will fit your needs. Our synchronous and asynchronous options are part of the many flexible solutions we have developed for our partners.
Our grant support includes:
- Pre and post-learning surveys
- Individual student project kits shipped to the home or to the classroom
- Virtual teacher training (if you prefer to have your own staff to lead activities)
Academic Recovery: How do we address lost learning?
School administrators, communities, and families are tasked with the multi-faceted challenges to mitigate the educational, social, and emotional impact of COVID-19. A cross-disciplinary strategy will be essential to our national campaign to reclaim lost learning. You already know research shows STEM improves reading comprehension, math skills, and science foundations, and engages higher-order thinking.
What EVERY Science Explorer Learns:
Science
Reinforced science foundations, cultivating curiosity.
Technology
Deepened critical thinking from recording data and technological innovation.
Reading
Increased reading comprehension from contextual vocabulary, visuals, and informational text.
Engineering
Building resilience through the Engineering Design Process.
Art
Empowerment from creative self-expression to communicate ideas.
Math
Understanding mathematical contexts that build confidence.
Factors related to student achievement
Our hands-on science kits are developed with research-based practices that represent positive key factors to student achievement. In addition, our lessons are accessible to the learning needs of our most vulnerable at-risk student subgroups: low-income students, children with disabilities, English learners, racial and ethnic minorities, students experiencing homelessness, and foster care youth.
