A donor can pick and choose which items they want to fund, or they can provide a general donation to the STEM Equipment Fund and we will invest the money in accordance with the KGCS priorities. The summary spreadsheet containing the itemized lists for each of the three elementary school can be accessed using the STEM Equipment Needs button below. The middle and high school needs lists will be added when they are finalized. Details about the STEM equipment needed can be found by clicking the blue STEM Equipment Lists button below.
Summer Camps: In addition to providing STEM equipment, we believe that providing hands-on immersive experiences is key to stimulating more interest in STEM areas. In that vein, we provide scholarships to local STEM camps like Camp Invention we as national camps like Space Camp, in Huntsville AL.
We would like to expand our Space Camp merit-based scholarships (~$2,200/ea) to send six KG students in summer of 2022. This is the top STEM camp in the country, if not the world, and is an excellent opportunity for 5th grade students. We would also like to provide 30 needs-based scholarships ($235/ea) to the Camp Invention held locally at KG Elementary School each summer, which is a phenomenal program for K-6 that is subsidized by the National Inventor’s Hall of Fame. Details about these amazing camps can be found by clicking the blue buttons below. The video below highlights the various simulators used at Space Camp, which is hosted at the US Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL.
