Promoting the STEM Curriculum and Engineering Fair Mini-grants

Prior to being crowned Miss Riverton, KUTV Channel 2 News filmed this news segment about the Engineering Fair Curriculum I authored for students in 5-12th grade.

Additionally, I authored and received the 2013 Smart Women Smart Money Grant to distribute my Engineering Fair Curriculum nationwide and provide students in the Jordan School District with the opportunity to apply for Engineering Fair Mini-grants.  These grants (up to $60 per engineering project) off-set the costs of prototyping.

During the 2013-2014 school year, two fifth grade girls who utilized my Engineering Fair Curriculum received recognition at the Central Utah Science and Engineering Fair (CUSEF).  One was the Grand Champion of CUSEF and the other placed First in Engineering!



For students in the Jordan School District, the Engineering Mini-grant application is available!  The applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but the final postmark deadline is December 17, 2014.
