programs, curriculum development, and staff
professional development for teachers, as well
as grants for specific topic areas such as science,
math, technology, social studies, geography,
reading, learning via web quests, and other
technological training. Build on the strengths
of your present programs, expand your present

Lemelson-MIT
InvenTeams is a national grants initiative of
the Lemelson-MIT Program to foster inventiveness
among high school students. InvenTeams composed
of high school students, teachers and mentors
are asked to collaboratively identify a problem
that they want to solve, research the problem,
and then develop a prototype invention as an
in-class or extracurricular project. Grants
of up to $10,000 support each team's efforts.
InvenTeams are encouraged to work with community
partners. InvenTeams are formed by high school
students, their teacher, and an industry mentor
for the purpose of inventing something of value
for their school or local communities. High
school science, mathematics, or technology teachers
are invited to apply for the grants.

Wish is now offering a program that matches
teachers with donors. To find a donor, teachers
must build a wish list of
Digital Wish classroom technology products.
Teachers may then tell their stories and share
their lesson plan ideas. Prospective donors
can review a classroom profile and
donate funding or purchase a wish
list item for a school. After each technology
purchase, Digital Wish will automatically donate
an additional 2-10% in immediate
cash-back funding to the recipient school to
fund their next technology project.
