The Lighthouse Beacon Foundation is committed to fostering innovation and excellence in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education by supporting students who demonstrate a strong passion for these fields. In line with our mission to empower the next generation of tech leaders and innovators, we are pleased to offer the STEM Materials Grant for Pigman Region, Technology Student Association (TSA) chapters. This grant aims to provide essential funding for materials required to compete in TSA events, ensuring that talented students have the resources they need to excel.
Grant Purpose:
The STEM Materials Grant is designed to support students participating in the Technology Student Association (TSA) competitions by providing financial assistance for the procurement of STEM-related materials. TSA competitions encompass a diverse range of events, from engineering design challenges to robotics and programming compeitions. To successfully engage in these events, students often require specialized materials, tools, and resources. Our grant will alleviate some of the financial burden associated with these necessities, enabling students to focus on their innovative projects and solutions.
Examples of Eligible Materials:
- Engineering Design: Funding for materials and tools needed for building prototypes, models, and functional designs in engineering-related challenges. These can be consumables.
- Robotics: Support for components, sensors, and hardware required for building and programming competitive robots.
- Programming and Software Development: Resources for software tools, development kits, and equipment necessary for coding and software-related competitions.
- Technology Solutions: Materials for creating technological solutions to real-world problems, including electronics, materials for physical models, and project-specific resources.
Grant Amount:
The Lighthouse Beacon Foundation offers grants up to $2,500, which will be allocated based on the specific needs outlined in the application. This funding will cover the costs of purchasing materials, tools, and other essential resources required for TSA competitions.
Application Requirements:
- Project Proposal: A detailed description of the TSA event(s) and/or classroom opportunities the students will be participating in, including the objectives, and specific materials needed.
- Budget: A clear and itemized budget outlining the costs associated with the required materials and tools.
