67 PRISM Awards for STEM Education
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – The Burroughs Wellcome Fund supports STEM teaching professionals in their efforts to provide quality hands-on, inquiry-based activities for their students. Promoting Innovation in Science and Mathematics (PRISM) awards promotes excitement for science and mathematics in the classroom by providing funds for materials, equipment, and supplies related to the implementation of high quality curriculum and activities in the classroom.
This award provides up to $3,000 for one year to cover the cost of equipment, materials, and supplies. An additional $1,500 may be requested for professional development related to the implementation of new equipment or use of materials in the classroom. Awards are made to professional educators with a license to teach in a North Carolina K-12 public school.
“The PRISM award supports STEM teachers from all across the state of North Carolina as they integrate STEM resources into their classrooms.” states Alfred Mays, BWF Program Officer for Science Education and Diversity in Science. “For a relatively modest investment, we can have a major impact on a student’s classroom experience.”
The following 67 PRISM selections totaling $204,246.00 were approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors.
