Lewis-Clark State College has received a $15,000 dollar gift from the Idaho Community Foundation to help support Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math learning opportunities for area K-12 teachers through the i-STEM program.
The program was established in Idaho to promote education and events available to K-12 teachers that enhance and enrich the teaching of STEM subjects in the classroom and beyond.
I-STEM is run through the Idaho Department of Education and receives funding from several sources. Idaho has six i-STEM institutes, all located at public higher education institutions, including LCSC.
College officials say i-STEM provides funding for the workshop to support teacher attendance and bring in speakers and presenters with innovative ideas.
In addition, there is a small budget to purchase items for the LCSC STEM library, which educators in Region II can check out to use in their classroom. (LCSC)
