      With the plethora of technology options out there (hardware, software, web applications, STEM tools, etc), it can all look exciting and you might even visualize how your students will benefit from the innovative tech available. But more often than not, the “dream” classroom rarely meshes with the “reality” budget. Fortunately, awards, crowdfunding, grants, and programs have made outfitting classrooms with state-of-the-art tech a reality for many educators.

      A valuable source for finding various federal grants is Grants.gov, which also has a handy mobile app for grant alerts. Educators can search grants by category, funding, eligibility, and agency. Beyond federal grant programs are the resources below that you can look into, including opportunities with deadlines for 2021. Many are focused on the integration of tech and/or STEM products, materials, and resources. So, get started and explore by clicking on any source. Your “dream classroom” can happen.
