A top priority of the Governor's STEM Advisory Council is to help improve learner interest and achievement in STEM areas and support your efforts to provide quality STEM learning opportunities to Iowa youth.    

The nine scale-ups selected span all grade levels, all fields of STEM, and may be implemented in-school or out-of-school.  Some programs may provide stipends for teachers, volunteers or coaches working beyond contract hours, curriculum materials, or training related to the program materials. Selected applicants will be notified by May 15, 2013.
