The goal of the STEM BEST program is to support the launch of new or expanded STEM BEST K-12 models specifically focused on creating work-based learning opportunities that allow students to develop future-focused, high-demand skills through real world experiences. These future-focused skills align with the Iowa Academic Standards Universal Constructs and create opportunities for students to become leaders and innovators of a future-focused Iowa.
The STEM BEST funding opportunity offers:
- award amounts up to $40,000.
- a 17-month timeframe to spend funds (February 2024 to June 2025).
