Grain Valley Schools Receive Grant to Support STEM A photo of a group of staff smiling and standing in the office. With the continued demand for careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), Grain Valley Schools strives to provide opportunities for students to engage in these fields, even at the elementary age. Project Lead the Way (PLTW) is a curriculum that aims to ensure students are exposed to the STEM world with hands-on, project-based learning experiences.
 
Grain Valley Schools has been awarded a $4,937 grant from the KC STEM Alliance to continue supporting the work the district has started. This crucial funding will be used to purchase additional Project Lead the Way Launch kits for our elementary schools. The goal is to provide equitable access to high-quality, hands-on STEM education for all of our kindergarten through 5th grade students.

This grant will directly benefit our elementary students by:
  • Increasing their engagement and critical thinking skills through interactive, inquiry-based science experiments 
  • Helping to build a strong pipeline of future STEM learners by sparking interest in science and engineering at an early age 
Kits purchased from the grant will be used in all four elementary buildings. Thank you to the KC STEM Alliance for supporting our commitment to fostering curiosity and problem-solving in our students.
