Educator Feedback
"K-12 teachers have almost no funds for hands-on science projects and hands-on has been shown to provide the best kinds of educational experiences. The STEDTRAIN Seed Grants make possible what otherwise could not be."
"Usually the children get very restless in the last couple of months of a semester. The children during the course of our Seed Grant, however, were totally focused and went directly to work when they entered the classroom. There were no discipline problems."
"The best part of the Seed Grant was the extensive parental and community involvement. It is bringing the community together."
"The children worked together as teams, each child contributing and each child learning from the others."
"Our STEDTRAIN Seed Grant gave us the confidence to apply for other grants."
"We are building on the project started with our Seed Grant. We now want to develop and expand what we started."
"Some of our students are finding that their participation in the Seed Grant is helping their college applications. Now they can show research experience on their resumes."
"We like the simple, straightforward format for submitting a proposal. It does not cut unnecessarily into a teacher's time."
"We like having the discretionary power to get what supplies we need when we need them without a lot of hassle."
