Description
The K–12 Science Innovation Grant is run by the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh (SACP) and the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh (SSP). It helps public and private K–12 schools develop and support unique science engagement activities, programs, and outreach. The grant is part of the societies’ and jointly sponsored Pittcon’s efforts to promote science education at all levels.
The program favors new initiatives with continuation plans and activities that reach many people with a clear expected impact on student and family groups. Supported purchases include science materials such as Foldscopes and science kits, as well as computers used to operate scientific instruments. The emphasis is on items directly supporting science education and outreach rather than technology-only classroom purchases.
