A collection of STEM-focused grant opportunities available now!
Finding current grant opportunities to fund STEM and robotics programs for your classroom can be challenging. Between scattered deadlines and elusive application details, it’s often an overwhelming, time-consuming task.
Ozobot has always sought to support educators who are pursuing funds that will bring STEAM into the classroom. Dedicated resources like our website and the the Grant & Funding Tool have been go-tos for administrators, tutors, librarians and so many more to offer guidance on grant writing, available funding types, and even one-on-one demos with an Ozobot team member for trainings.
As we continue to bolster the support for teachers nationwide who share a passion for STEAM education, we are excited to introduce our new series, the Ozobot Grant Report: a monthly compilation of the biggest and best STEM and robotics grants. From K12 STEM integration to high school CTE and everything in between, we’ll be sharing curated lists of grant and funding programs that are available now.
We hope you are as excited about the Ozobot Grant Report as we are. Full STEAM ahead!
