Study Planet Earth!
"A partnership between the Arizona Space Grant Consortium and Arizona formal and informal educators to prepare and inspire the next generation of explorers."
Arizona school budgets are tight—too tight to fund “extras”. But “extras” that compliment classroom teaching and boost learning are invaluable. Enter Mini-Grants...
Modeled after an impressive program in Washington state, the Arizona
Space Grant Consortium / UA Cooperative Extension Mini-Grant program
offers grants up to $400 for innovative science, mathematics and
technology-related projects, or professional development experiences for
educators. Public, private, certified home-school teachers and 4-H /
Extension professionals and other informal education programs may apply.
Grants must be matched dollar-to-dollar with non-federal funds; projects
must be aligned with the Arizona State Standards. Be creative! Together we
can inspire the next generation of explorers!
It's easy to turn that great idea into a Mini-Grant!
