Tpdf Text

Establishes a grant program for statewide experiential science, technology, engineering, and mathematics competition programs.

The bill authorizes the Maine Technology Institute to provide grants for statewide experiential science, technology, engineering, and mathematics competition programs. These grants aim to broaden participation in student-led experiential science and engineering research projects. Grant recipients must demonstrate plans to evaluate the effects of sustained engagement in STEM fields, make projects accessible to a diverse student population, and maintain formal partnerships with the University of Maine System. The program also requires matching funds and reporting on the use of grant money.
