Description
The Summer STEM Grants program, administered by the Idaho Commission for Libraries (ICfL), provides funds and resources to Idaho libraries to implement engaging, hands-on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) outreach activities for youth during the summer months. The program aims to reach underserved populations, promote access to books, and minimize summer learning loss. In addition to funding, grantees receive toolkits and programmatic support to enhance their STEM offerings and document outcomes.
