Grant Applications Due January 19, 2020
Over the last 10 years, the Chicago Section of the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has funded public libraries in Illinois to provide hands-on, self-directed educational opportunities in math and science to pre-university students by developing and circulating science kits.

The program is expanding to cover IEEE Region 4, which includes Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

Public libraries in Region 4 may apply for grants of up to $2,000. Applications will be accepted through Jan. 19, 2020. Learn more at 
https://sciencekitsforpubliclibraries.org.
