Announcing the new OSLN STEM Classroom Grant Program

The Ohio STEM Learning Network is pleased to announce a new grant opportunity for K-12 STEM classrooms in Ohio.

The goal of the grant program is to foster the creation of new, sustainable STEM education programming in classrooms by investing directly in our K-12 teachers and administrators. Thanks to philanthropic funding from Battelle, educators can now apply through the Ohio STEM Learning Network STEM Classroom Grant Program for up to $5,000.

Projects should align to one of the following focus areas:

  1. Community Problem Solving
  2. STEM Career Exploration
  3. Building STEM Mindsets
  4. Design Thinking and Infrastructure

“Ask yourself: Which of these focus areas stirs you? What is your school or classroom missing? What might I notice if I were seeing my community or my school for the very first time? What would fascinate a young child? What about a teenager?” said Kelly Gaier Evans, Director of the Ohio STEM Learning Network.
