STEM, a privately funded nonprofit to boost the quality of education in science, technology, engineering and math, will announce 15 grants Monday totaling $2.4 million. Some will do it with underwater robots. Others will use computers that make 3D images. Still others will design brand-new products or experiment with creative teaching techniques. Innovation. Creativity. Effectiveness. Those are some hallmarks of K-12 programs receiving a total of $2.4 million in grants from the nonprofit, privately funded Washington STEM, created to boost the quality of education in “STEM” subjects — an acronym for science, technology, engineering and math.
