The primary purpose of this grant is to enhance the quality of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education within South Dakota K-12 schools by connecting industry with the classroom. We recognize that the future demands a skilled workforce proficient in STEM, capable of tackling complex global issues, driving innovation, and sustaining economic growth.

This funding is intended to bring SD Biotech member companies (or other STEM-related companies) together with K-12 students to share information on what they do in their community, explain how a STEM activity relates to a local STEM organization, and have students assist with conducting the activity.
