STEM Educator Award

The Delaware STEM Educator Awards recognize a teacher, or team of teachers at the Elementary (K-5), Middle (6-8), and High School (6-12) levels who demonstrate STEM innovation and excellence through teaching, academic collaboration, and student engagement.

STEM Educator
Community Award

Are you a STEM Educator but might not fit into the usual K-12 description? The Delaware STEM Educator Community Award offers recognition and funding. This award is open to organizations that coordinate STEM activities for youth in grades P-12 that typically, but not exclusively, take place outside the school environment such as afterschool and organizations that are essentially non-traditional.

Eligibility:

Applicants can be certified K-12 teachers in the Delaware public school system as well as exceptional educators who may be uncertified but still work with K-12 students in a focused STEM curriculum. Such a curriculum (science, math, engineering, technology, computer science and CTE) must still meet all expectations and goals of the Delaware STEM Council, as listed above. Programs can include before and afterschool programs as well as summer camps. Preference is given to published STEM curriculums and programs that have been vetted, sustainable STEM programs and activities that have impacted many and can be replicated and scaled across the state and beyond.

Application Deadline:

The 2024 STEM Educator Awards application will become available soon. Please check back!

Cash Awards up to $7,500:

Winners at each level are eligible for a cash award  up to $7,500 in recognition of their commitment to STEM in Delaware and the success of our students.
