Gov. Snyder's MiSTEM Advisory Council

Awards $2.85M to 34 STEM Projects



January 19, 2018



LANSING - Thirty-four Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) programs are sharing $2.85 million in state grants from Governor Rick Snyder's MiSTEM Advisory Council, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) announced today.



The state Legislature set aside $2.85 million in 2017-18 to distribute grants up to $100,000 for the implementation of STEM programs listed in the STEMworks database. The MiSTEM Advisory Council selected the awardees, whose funding ranges from $24,000 to $100,000, from 134 applications seeking more than $10 million. The applications came from local and intermediate school districts (ISDs), universities, and STEM providers



"STEM education is critically important to a student's success later in life," Governor Snyder said. "Thank you to my partners in the state Legislature and the Department of Education for ensuring that more Michigan students will have access to these STEM skills."



The MiSTEM Advisory Council said in a statement:



"The Council would like to thank the Governor for the leadership and vision to propel STEM education down a new and exciting path. The legislature has stepped up to the challenge and appropriated funds to support this shift in culture, enabling STEM programming around the state to benefit from proven best practices.



"As proud as we may be about this initial success, we are even more encouraged by the widespread potential that will be harnessed and directed toward the further advancement of STEM education for all of the students throughout the state."



State Superintendent Brian Whiston said the grants' STEM focus will help Michigan become a Top 10 education state in 10 years - the central goal of the Michigan Department of Education.



The grants align with the Top 10 plan's goal of implementing high-quality classroom instruction through a child-centered instructional model with a strategy to enable public schools' students to engage in integrated STEM programming.



In weighing the applications, the MiSTEM Advisory Council considered reviewer ratings, program type, and distribution across the MiSTEM Network Regions.



Two successful applicants, Oakland Schools and West Shore ESD, received multiple awards to provide professional development in regions other than their own. They are using the funding to build on statewide work underway for several years with seed funding from other sources.
