Several STEM education programs across North Carolina have received Student STEM Enrichment grant awards from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund. The Student STEM Enrichment Program (SSEP) provides up to $180,000 over three years to support educational opportunities that take place outside of traditional classroom time. Thirteen programs out of 89 applications received across North Carolina collectively received $2.1 million in funding this year. View 2018 recipients. Quick reminder ... due to the impact of Hurricane Florence on North Carolina’s public schools, the CASMT application submission deadline was extended to Oct. 8 (Monday). Electronic applications only will be accepted. Get more details here. Finally, check out this interview with Dr. Sam Houston talking about how “Strategies that Engage Minds” has become the alternative phase to “science, technology, engineering, and mathematics” for the STEM acronym? It's a good read. Please enjoy your e-Update. Tweet us @NCSTEM with any comments, questions or feedback. |
