ASM International Foundation Teacher Grants
Deadline: 5/25/2009

Here’s a fun and rewarding way to exercise your creativity as a teacher – and be recognized for it! The ASM Materials Education Foundation’s mission is to "excite young people in materials, science, and engineering careers". Members of ASM International visit schools and frequently observe that students are fascinated by materials, but rarely have an opportunity to learn anything about them. To help teachers bring the "real world" of materials science into their classrooms, the ASM Materials Education Foundation is awarding 10 grants of $500 each to teachers, K-12.
