Description
The Alaska Space Grant Program’s STEM Education Fellowship Award provides $2,500 stipends to support education majors at Alaska institutions in developing integrated STEM lesson plans or resource units for K-12 classrooms. The fellowship aims to advance NASA’s vision by inspiring STEM career goals, strengthening the STEM workforce, and engaging students and educators with NASA’s mission. Fellows are expected to incorporate NASA educational materials and Alaska-relevant examples into their lesson plans, which are then shared as resources for other educators across the state.
