Jeff Beneke, NC STEM Hub's Manager, took a moment to share frequently asked questions. If you need any assistance, please do email Sarah at the hub.
Q: What should I use as my Application Title?
A: To create your Application Title, follow the given format by including the STEM Region abbreviation (e.g. NE, NC, NW, SE, SC, or SW), the name of the program you are applying for, and your organization's name. Here's how you can structure it:
Application Title: [STEM Region Abbreviation], [Program Name], [Your Organization's Name]
Example:
If you're in the South Central Iowa STEM Region and your program is "Robotics for All" by "ABC Daycare," your title would look like this:
Application Title: SC, Robotics for All, ABC Daycare
***
Q: Can multiple educators be listed in an application?
A: Yes. For example, if three fourth grade teachers from the same building are interested in applying for the same program, all of the educators should be listed within one application.
***
Q: Our application includes three educators applying for the Program Name; however, one educator requires only professional development. How should this be noted in the application?
A: A new feature has been added to the 2025-26 Scale-Up application. To clearly indicate that one educator only needs professional development in the application, follow these guidelines.
Detail in the Educator Information Section:
- In sections where you list the educators, clearly state the distinction. For instance:
- Educator 1: Enter educator name, title, etc..
- Educator 2: Enter educator name, title, etc..
- Educator 3: Enter educator name, title, etc. Then check the box "PD only"
Include in the Additional Comments Section:
- In the additional comments section, explicitly mention that one educator will only participate in professional development. For example:
- "Educator 3 will participate in professional development sessions only and will not require materials or other program components."
***
Q: I would like to apply but we have not hired the educator who would teach the program.
A: No worries. The application allows you to include a 'placeholder' educator. However, before implementing the program, the placeholder must be replaced with the name of an actual educator.
