Description
This grant program, administered by the Nevada Office of Science, Innovation & Technology (OSIT), is designed to expand the reach and quality of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education in Nevada’s elementary schools. It prioritizes hands-on, experiential, and evidence-based STEM learning, aiming to increase the time students spend on STEM subjects and to foster greater interest and achievement, especially among groups traditionally underserved in STEM fields. The program aligns with Nevada’s State STEM Strategic Plan and supports both individual educators (Classroom Awards) and whole schools (Program Awards) in initiating or enhancing impactful STEM projects.
