Grant Background
With backing by the National Science Foundation, STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering and Math) is an emerging movement in
American education, which is increasingly realizing that global
competitiveness requires students to be technologically literate.
SolidWorks Corporation supports US STEM educators in a new
initiative aimed at improving students' math and science skills and
their interest in STEM related careers.
The STEM Educators Grant focuses on the
teacher. SolidWorks is committed to providing the most
innovative resources for teaching and learning math, science and
engineering principles.
Through 3D modeling, virtual simulation,
and online delivery, SolidWorks will provide examples in basic math,
algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, biology, chemistry,
physics, art, economics and new technologies. Teachers can utilize
these examples directly in their classroom to reinforce core
competencies and enhance the learning experience.
