Lane Earth and Space Science Grant ($5,000):
Science and math teachers at public, private, or tribal schools in South
Dakota may now apply for the 12th annual “Kelly
Lane Earth and Space Science Grant” provided by the NASA
South Dakota Space Grant Consortium. This $5,000
grant is awarded annually to a select science or math teacher of
U.S. citizenship in South Dakota. The award seeks to improve science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in the state
through the support of innovative programs in pre-college education. The
application announcement for the 2018 grant is available at the
following website. Preference will be given to applications
focusing on topics pertaining to space science, earth science, and/or
the use of geospatial technology, and to applicants who have not won
this award in the past ten years. Applications must be received by January

· Daniel
Swets Robotics Materials Award ($6,000) - NASA South Dakota Space Grant:
The NASA South Dakota Space Grant Consortium invites applications for
the 2018 “Daniel Swets Robotics Materials Award”. We
anticipate providing $6,000 in award funding
under this call-for-applications. This funding is open to South
Dakota teachers and informal educators of U.S. citizenship who either
have: A) taken robotics training or plan to take robotics training and
want to begin new robotics programs and teams, or B) have sustained
robotics programs/curriculum in their classrooms or at their schools.
Preference will be given to: 1) applications that would start new robotics
programs and teams (e.g., at a school that didn’t have one before), as
opposed to augmenting existing robotics programs, 2) robotics programs
at the Middle School level, and 3) applications from teachers/educators
who have not won any prior robotics or other teacher awards provided by
SD Space Grant in the past 12 years. The 2018 Application and
Instructions are downloadable at the following website.
Applications must be received by January 17, 2018.
