Grant Overview
To be eligible for this funding opportunity, Wyoming schools must demonstrate a clear commitment to developing outdoor STEM education programs that leverage the state's vast wilderness. The application requires a detailed project plan, including specific learning objectives, partnerships with local organizations, and a plan for assessing student outcomes. Wyoming's frontier county designation necessitates a unique approach to STEM education, with a focus on environmental science, geology, and wildlife conservation. The state's rural areas have limited infrastructure, with 62% of schools located in rural or remote areas. Eligible applicants include teachers and project advisors from accredited pre-K–12 schools who can demonstrate a strong understanding of Wyoming's outdoor education needs. Unlike Colorado applications, Wyoming requires demonstration of extreme rural delivery capacity due to its frontier county designation. The grant prioritizes projects that incorporate hands-on learning experiences, such as field studies and outdoor experiments, to engage students in STEM subjects. By supporting outdoor STEM education, this funding opportunity aims to foster a deeper appreciation for Wyoming's natural resources and promote environmental stewardship. Wyoming's diverse geography, including the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains, provides a unique backdrop for STEM education, with opportunities for students to explore and learn about the state's rich natural heritage. The state's major industry, tourism, relies heavily on its natural resources, making it essential to educate students about conservation and sustainability. Wyoming's population density, with an average of 6 people per square mile, presents challenges for rural education, but also offers opportunities for innovative and community-based STEM programs.
