Temple ISD receives grant from Meta to advance STEM projects
TEMPLE, Texas (FOX 44) – The Temple Independent School District will launch several new STEM initiatives in the coming year after receiving a grant from Meta Temple Data Center. The district says it was recently notified of the $75,000 grant. The money will be earmarked to help fund three new STEM initiatives. It will also help support a new Summer STEM Explorations program. Temple ISD will offer a free summer STEM camp offering hands-on exploration for district students, and grant funding will help provide meals and transportation to make this program more accessible to students across the district. Funds will also help support the STEMpowering Educators professional development program. This program will help pay for district science and math teachers and leaders to attend conferences host by the Center for the Advancement of Science Teaching (CAST) and the National Teacher Institute for Math hosted by Carnegie Learning. Those conferences will provide those attending an opportunity to collaborate with other teachers and hear from experts in the field to help improve teaching and learning in math and science classrooms. The final project funded will be Fine Arts: STEAM and Movement. This project will allow the district to purchase portable BEAM projectors to use at elementary schools across Temple ISD to encourage students to connect learning in the arts to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math through interactive participation in games and activities. The district says previous donations from Meta have helped to reengineer its STEM programs and impact students on every grade level. The reengineering and expansion of STEM offerings is part of a district master plan that includes a five-year schedule of initiatives incorporating all Temple ISD campuses.
