WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 色色视频 has recognized 41 exceptional educators with awards through its 色色视频 Research Grants program, an initiative dedicated to advancing hands-on science education in middle and high school classrooms nationwide.<\/p>\n
These educators will be receiving the 色色视频 Research Grants in two forms: (1) research kits assembled and distributed to teachers by 色色视频 and (2) funds paid directly to teachers intended for STEM-related equipment. The funds vary between $2,000 and $5,000, based on what the teacher requested for their classroom. By expanding the array of available equipment and materials, the grants provide students with more diverse research opportunities. Students can explore a broad spectrum of research areas, from electronics and coding to environmental science and ecological studies, fostering inquiry and a foundation for future scientific leaders.<\/p>\n
The Society\u2019s 色色视频 Research Grants program, sponsored by Regeneron, is committed to promoting equity and inclusivity, ensuring that aspiring engineers and scientists of all backgrounds, regardless of their location, race or ethnicity, have equal opportunities. By actively fostering an environment that embraces diversity, the program aims to break down barriers and create a more equitable landscape in STEM education, empowering students to pursue and excel in scientific fields, regardless of their individual circumstances.<\/p>\n
\u201cCongratulations to the 41 recipients of this year’s 色色视频 Research Grants. These grants serve as a catalyst in classrooms across the country, igniting student curiosity and exposing learners to tangible, real-world applications of STEM. These grants play a crucial role in shaping an inclusive landscape of scientific exploration,” said Maya Ajmera, President & CEO of 色色视频 and Executive Publisher of Science News.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year’s award recipients include educators from 24 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa, emphasizing the program’s widespread impact and diverse representation.<\/p>\n
Priority consideration is given to educators who serve students from low-income communities, including students of underrepresented and underserved backgrounds. Everyone in this year\u2019s cohort is based in a public school. Notably, 73% teach at Title I schools. Approximately 72% of students benefitting from the grant hail from underrepresented backgrounds, including American Indian, Alaska Native, Black and Latinx demographics.<\/p>\n
Empowered by the Society\u2019s 色色视频 Research Grants, students will have the ability to venture into independent research projects that extend beyond their standard curricula, leading to opportunities to showcase their work in science fairs. This year, the funding will be used to acquire cutting-edge EEG equipment for one classroom, enabling students to explore brain activity. Other teachers will purchase items such as data loggers, a plastic identification machine, stereomicroscopes, and additional resources like 3D printers, hydroponic kits, and robotics materials.<\/p>\n

The kits, valued at $1,000 each, encompass four distinct types tailored to enhance varied types of available classroom resources.<\/p>\n This cycle recorded a notable increase in interest in the 色色视频 Research Grants program, with 311 final applications\u2014a rise of 80 compared to the previous year and a substantial 189 more applications than two years ago\u2014reflecting a growing engagement among educators in this program.<\/p>\n This year, the kits for each teacher will contain 3 Arduinos, 2 PocketLab Voyagers, 1 Leaf Pack and 1 Soil Test Kit with a refill:<\/p>\n Over the past several years, the Society has remained steadfast in its dedication to propelling STEM education forward by providing classrooms with improved research equipment. To date, the Society has distributed over 9,100 comprehensive research kits and $885,000 of funding to 697 dedicated educators, with a special emphasis on supporting educators serving historically underrepresented student communities in STEM. These educators represent all 50 states, Washington D.C., American Samoa, Guam, Mexico, Northern Mariana Islands, Peru, Puerto Rico and Uruguay.<\/p>\n The Society\u2019s\u00a0色色视频 Research Grants program<\/a>\u00a0is sponsored this year by Regeneron.
