Even if you’re not a Jerry Maguire fan, the sentiment is still clear. We know you’re looking for where the money can aid in funding your classroom(s). Let us show you where some of the money is! One resource is the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation that provides funds in the US and overseas. Their latest foray is to focus on backing locally inspired solutions.
Pitsco’s STEM Professional Development (PD) supports the objective to stress middle and high school teachers having access to high-quality, standards-aligned curriculum choices in English, math, and science, which will be accompanied by professional learning opprotunities. Our custom sessions help teachers better understand STEM and make the STEM connections that help students better understand STEM too. And, true to form, teachers learn through engaging hands-on activities and take home a product they can use with their students.
Besides STEM PD, the Gates Foundation could be a supporter of TETRIX® robotics, the TETRIX PULSE™ Robotics Controller, or K-9 STEM solutions. For instance, Pitsco STEM Expeditions® curriculum has been profiled to workplace-readiness standards.
Below are more opportunities for grant funding. But don’t forget, you can always apply for the Pitsco $350 Grant that we award monthly.
