Grants Unlocked: Florida

In our recent Grants Unlocked webinar, we explored real-world strategies for Florida educators to find and apply for grants that fund hands-on STEM tools like Strawbees and micro:bit.

2. How to Write a Winning Application
You’ll learn the key ingredients of a strong grant proposal, common mistakes to avoid, and how to align your request with Florida standards like NGSSS and Common Core math.

3. Funding Hands-On STEM Tools
Get inspired by examples of how schools are using grant money to bring tools like Strawbees into their classrooms and the impact it’s making.
