About This Grant

We're looking for ideas that are knowledge advancing. We are seeking proposals from individuals and organizations who have creative ideas for re-imagining the next century of STEM education toward: creative innovation, occupational attainment, and/or critical literacy.

The goal of this grant program is to support questions, experiments and projects that will promote: (i) how we understand STEM learning, (ii) intellectually diverse learner participation, engagement and persistence, and/or (iii) STEM education outcomes that support field advancement, workforce development, as well as ethical planetary and cultural stewardship. We are especially interested in proposals that:

  • Use next-generation technologies to understand or enhance STEM learning experiences in authentic and diverse contexts
  • Incorporate active learning (inquiry, problem or design-based) to make STEM education more personally meaningful and culturally relevant
  • Address the underrepresentation of women and other underrepresented or traditionally marginalized groups in STEM fields
  • Foster collaboration and interdisciplinary perspectives in learning (e.g., learning sciences, science education, etc.) and practice (e.g., design, computing, data science, biotechnology, etc.).

If you have a new and innovative idea for improving how we the world understands or enacts STEM education, we encourage you to apply for this grant opportunity. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of students and help build a stronger, more equitable society.

How It Works

We have $50,000 that we're going to contribute to projects here on Experiment. We will back eligible projects up to $10,000 (and you are welcome to try to raise more using the crowdfunding aspect of Experiment, too). The funds will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis, so the sooner you fill out a project application the better (use the "start a project" link below).
