Society for Science & the Public announced a gift of $100,000 in STEM research kits to 100 science research teachers from underserved communities across the country. Among those are five Atlanta educators who will be choosing several kits, valued at $1,000.
· Marlon Alfaro, B.E.S.T. Academy
· Mariama Boone, Benjamin E. Mays High School
· Stephanie Jones, Maynard Jackson High School
· Tonia Schofield, Henry W. Grady High School
· Van Truong, South Gwinnett High School
The teachers will each choose from a selection of 13 high-quality STEM research kits, encouraging students to pursue hands-on, project-based science research in the home environment. These kits are distributed through the Society’s STEM Research Grants program.
To date, the Society has granted over $400,000 in take-home kits to help ensure educators have what they need to encourage scientific inquiry in all settings, regardless of whether they are guiding their students remotely, in-person or through a hybrid model.
