The Society for Science provided STEM research equipment kits and funding to 95 middle and high school educators to help their students conduct research outside the classroom.  The teachers come from 29 states, the District of Columbia, the US territories of American Samoa, Guam, and Puerto Rico as well as Mexico, Uruguay, and Peru. Priority consideration is given to teachers at schools that support students from low-income communities and demographics traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields.

“The impact of this opportunity is truly invaluable. Many of this year’s participants have never spent this much time in the outdoors and certainly have not conducted research in the field. The hope is that this experience will encourage these students to pursue science in their remaining years of high school as well as potentially college and careers!”

“Students interested in microbiology will have the opportunity to learn how to stain and plate bacteria. Many students in the past have shown interest, but we never had equipment to support their research. Now we do!”
