The STEM Next Opportunity Fund today announced a multi-year grant to the Indiana Afterschool Network as part of the Million Girls Moonshot. The effort is designed to engage 1 million school-age girls in the United States in STEM learning opportunities over the next five years.
The Indiana Afterschool Network plans to use the funds to help afterschool programs in the state provide STEM education. This grant will help elevate girls in STEM through targeted programming with the regional networks, intentional programming at the IAN Annual Summit, curriculum alignment with the IN-QSPA standards and technical assistance with the standards, professional development modules, and curriculum programs available to network partners through the myIAN Locker.
