Officials with the Idaho National Laboratory are asking for schools to apply for mini-grants to advance instruction in science, technology, engineering and math programs.
About $60,000 in grant money is available statewide from the Battelle Energy Alliance, which operates INL for the U.S. Department of Energy. One of the grants will provide $2,000 to fund technology or lab equipment, material for special projects and professional development. Another will award $10,000 to schools to transform classrooms with new equipment.
Applications are due by the end of March. (AP)
