Outreach Awards
 The
Outreach Awards Program is offered to pre-college educators at the elementary
and secondary levels because an interest in science is often sparked long
before a student reaches the university level. As teachers incorporate
an increasing number of inquiry-based, investigative activities into their
science curriculum, equipment is often needed and funding is scarce. The
goal of the Outreach Awards Program is to help make funds available
to teachers for equipment to help you do more hands-on science experiments
with your students.
- Eligibility- Priority for grant distribution will be given to teachers who participate in a BSI teacher workshop between May 2009 through April 2010, and to teachers in high need Colorado schools. Other Colorado teachers are eligible to apply.
- Awards must be used to purchase equipment for student/classroom use. Please see examples
of funded equipment.
- Awards are based on the quality of the project and application.
- Awards are given out twice a year and teachers may only receive one award per year. A single applicant from one school may apply for up to $500, while multiple applicants from one school may only apply for up to $1,000.
- Grant application deadlines:
Fall - November 20, 2009;
Spring - April 9, 2010.
- We will require
you to fill out an evaluation (that we provide) after you use the
equipment /materials in your classroom.
