A Project Team is looking to better understand the programs and projects that have been undertaken across the country to support STEM teachers in rural communities. The information gathered will be used to share trends, best practices, and success stories in order to create a number of case studies and guides for entities seeking to support STEM teachers in rural areas.

We’re excited to announce up to $1 Million in funding (total) for a competitive opportunity for partners doing work in New York State to propose solutions that will help solve this challenge. We are open to a range of solutions and expect to make grants of a variety of sizes. In the past, grants have ranged from $25K-300K.

Over 6 months, cross-organizational teams will work on projects that have the potential to improve their own work and positively impact the field. We all have something to learn and share — if you have a challenge that you’re passionate about and are interested in leading a Project Team to address it, sign up below!

With the grand challenges mapped, the network is laser-focused on tackling them. Now is the time to spread the word and get allies on board to contribute. SXSW EDU is a great place to do just that, but we need your vote to secure our spot. Cast your vote.
