Libraries Qualify

Here is an opportunity for your library to receive STEM resources and materials. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. This opportunity is available through the Governor's STEM Council. Please note that if you have questions, you should contact your STEM Regional Manager from this map of the STEM regions.

As you may know, the Iowa Governor’s STEM Council recently released the programs that are part of the 2023 Scale-Up menu. This program provides materials that could be adapted to library programming suitable for K-12 STEM related events. The materials are free for the libraries to keep.  Scale-Up is a great way for librarians (and other educators) to receive STEM materials. What's even better, training of the materials is built into the process, so you will know how to use whatever you're awarded.

Take a look at the menu and consider applying! The deadline to apply is February 28 at 6:00 p.m.  If you would like to discuss the programs in more detail or have questions about the application process, please contact your area's STEM Region Manager.
