Building STEM Classrooms Initiative
Free STEM classroom supplies, training, and STEM grants
The Synopsys Outreach Foundation aims to ignite, empower, and nurture students and educators to participate in project-based STEM. Each fall, we provide FREE STEM classroom supplies, teacher trainings, and project-based STEM program/event grants to Greater Bay Area (CA) educators.
Program open to the Greater Bay Area
Each fall, we provide FREE STEM classroom supplies and project-based STEM program/event grants to Greater Bay Area (CA) educators. Each spring, we work with educators to bring project-based science experiences directly to their classrooms.
Our fall 2021 and spring 2022 applications will be limited to educators in the Greater Bay Area (California) in line with our organization’s new vision and mission.
