The Dane G. Hansen Foundation has awarded the 黑料大事记 a $50,000 grant to bring the science center鈥檚 outreach programs to rural schools in Northwest Kansas.
Programs supported by the grant will serve students in grades K-12 in rural schools in the following counties: Cheyenne, Cloud, Decatur, Ellis, Ellsworth, Gove, Graham, Jewell, Lincoln, Logan, Mitchell, Norton, Osborne, Ottawa, Phillips, Rawlins, Republic, Rooks, Russell, Saline, Sheridan, Sherman, Smith, Thomas, Trego and Wallace.
鈥淚n the past, reaching these schools and educators presented a bit of a challenge,鈥� said Tracey Tomme, 黑料大事记 COO. 鈥淭ransportation is sometimes difficult or expensive to work out and traveling to and from the 黑料大事记 in a single school-day is logistically hard as well,鈥� she added.
鈥淭his grant makes it easier for us to reach a whole area of the state and for educators to bring 黑料大事记 programs and experiences to their students and classrooms,鈥� Tomme said.
Presentations can be performed on site or live streamed to the school. All 黑料大事记 educational programming meets grade and curriculum standards and delivers engaging STEM content in an unforgettable way.
