Metro students will benefit from hands-on learning opportunities, thanks to STEM education grants provided by Battelle.
Through the Ohio STEM Learning Network Classroom Grants, Battelle will provide funding for 248 grants totaling $1,160,000 to enhance STEM learning across Ohio. The funding will support sustainable, STEM-based educational projects in 197 public schools and 144 school districts in 67 counties. Awards are based on proposals submitted by educators; Metro is proud to have been selected for multiple grants.
“Battelle is dedicated to broadening the scope of the Ohio STEM Learning Network, Ohio’s key resource for promoting STEM education statewide,” said Wes Hall, Vice President of Philanthropy & Education at Battelle. “These grants are crucial in empowering educators throughout Ohio to inspire and prepare the problem-solvers of tomorrow.”
The program fosters the growth of the Ohio STEM Learning Network as a public-private partnership between Battelle and the State of Ohio. Ensuring all students develop the skills to be successful in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields is Battelle’s top philanthropic priority.
