Twenty-seven classrooms across the United States will receive a total of $119,704 for hands-on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics projects.The Toshiba America Foundation announced the grants on August 20. The awards support students in grades 6 through 12 and were designed to help teachers make STEM learning practical and engaging.At Amesbury High School in Massachusetts, students will use a grant-funded robotic boat and sensors to study water quality. Other projects include plant science, recycling, drones, adaptive design, beekeeping, and energy experiments.The foundation sends the grants directly to teachers, so educators can build projects around the questions their own students are ready to explore.That kind of learning gives students more than a worksheet. It gives them a chance to test an idea, notice what happens, and try again.
