Good morning, The Michigan Architectural Foundation is looking to provide education grants for libraries in Michigan to help support STEM programming statewide. Previously, Baldwin worked with the MAF to develop and purchase items for STEM kits that included building and architecture toys/tools along with a list of program ideas for various ages. These kits were then delivered to libraries around the state to use for in house programming. They want to provide grants in the amount of $5,000-10,000 for programs that would attract kids from preschool to 18 years of age. They prefer to fund rather than develop the program. Right now MAF is in the information gathering stage. If you have any ideas of something they could do that could benefit your library, please let me know and I will forward it to the committee working on this project.
