Grant Components and Structure

The Inventionland® Education Innovation Grant Cycle is a multifaceted initiative that empowers educators to reshape their teaching environments and curricula. 

The grant is considered a stackable, or supplemental grant, which pays for a part, but not all, of the cost for Innovation Labs, our K12 applied STEM curriculum and professional learning. Here’s a breakdown of its core components:

1. Immersive Innovation Labs:: The grant offers schools the resources to set up state-of-the-art Innovation Labs. These labs transcend traditional classrooms, providing students with dynamic spaces to brainstorm, collaborate, and engage in hands-on learning experiences. The labs foster an environment that nurtures creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking. While it doesn’t pay for the entire amount, it helps to bridge the gap of the necessary financial resources to implement the spaces.
2. Inventionland®Applied-STEM Curriculum: At the heart of the grant cycle lies the Inventionland®Applied-STEM curriculum. This comprehensive curriculum integrates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics with practical application, mirroring real-world innovation and inventing scenarios. It encourages students to explore, experiment, and innovate, propelling them toward a deeper understanding of the subjects while preparing them for the challenges of the future job market. The grant offsets the cost of the curriculum by approximately 30%..
3. Professional Learning: Recognizing that educators play a pivotal role in shaping young minds, the grant also offsets professional learning costs.
