    Summary

    The Indiana General Assembly appropriated funding in fiscal year 2025 to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) for STEM program alignment. The STEM Integration Grant is designed to improve elementary and secondary student achievement and participation in integrated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning experiences across the state of Indiana. Grantees will use these targeted funds to provide students with integrated learning opportunities in the STEM disciplines and beyond. This grant opportunity will support school corporations that have an interest in accelerating, scaling, or implementing STEM curricula that are:

    • Grounded in standards-based STEM content;
    • Driven by integrated pedagogical practices, such as problem-based or inquiry-based approaches to learning; and
    • Incorporate teacher training and support.

    Purposeful integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through an engaging and motivating, student-centered pedagogy and curriculum promotes student engagement in solving real-world problems using inquiry-based learning, problem-based learning, and engineering design practices. Compelling grant proposals will be refined in scope and clearly describe a plan to implement Indiana's Integrated STEM Standards to develop Indiana's next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs.


    To achieve the key results of the STEM Integration Grant program, funds may be used to support one of the following strands:

    • Strand 1: STEM-S
      • STEM-S involves professional learning and planning activities for implementation of phenomenon-based, three-dimensional instruction that integrates science and engineering practices, technology, and mathematics in the science classroom.
    • Strand 2: STEM-C
      • STEM-C involves professional learning and planning activities for integrating computer science in STEM by cultivating the connection between science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and computer science.
    • Strand 3: STEM-M
      • STEM-M involves professional learning and planning activities for integrating STEM pedagogy within the instruction of mathematics by cultivating connections between science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
    • Strand 4: STEM-H
      • STEM-H involves professional learning and planning activities for integrating STEM pedagogy within and across the STEM disciplines and the humanities (non-STEM disciplines).
