MHTA’s ACE Leadership Alumni are partnering with Minnesota Computers for Schools (MCFS) to award a Computers to Classrooms grant.
The recipient will be a Minnesota K-12 STEM teacher who will have their choice of six Dell Optiplex or six Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. If you are interested in applying for the grant, the application is available as an offer at getSTEM-mn.

The computers will be awarded to a Minnesota teacher who demonstrates innovation and leadership in the classroom. The purpose of the grant is to advance STEM education by providing computers to a classroom in need. Applications will be reviewed by members of the MHTA ACE Leadership Alumni Executive Committee.
