SolidWorks and Massachusetts High School Teachers

In an effort to promote math, science, engineering and technology applications in high school, I received a grant from the Mass Board of Higher Education in conjunction with MassBay College to supply SW training and software to ten Massachusetts schools, teachers and their students. The teacher does not have to be a CAD instructor. There is an emphasis on basic geometry and algebra in everyday life with SW as the tool. Currently, I have eight schools in the program and am searching for two more. There is no cost to the high school. The program has run successfully for 5 years.



If you are on a high school advisory board in Massachusetts or know of a school that might be interested, please ask them to contact me at snipped-for-privacy@massbay.edu.



Thank you,



Marie

I wish I could get a grant for SW where I teach. SE is not the best tool.

P,

There are three avenues that I know of to obtain funding for education. 1. US Govenment- NSF, NASA, 2. State funding - Board of Higher Education, Technology-based organizations 3. Local industry. At the school where you work, ask around and see if someone has obtained a grant and knows the process. Each school works differently. Some schools have a grant officier and others are based on the individual. In my case, the big push was math. Math affects every student, every day. The CAD tools became the application of math. When I left industry, I had know idea about this grant process. I am just learning, but there are funds out there, especially for math, science and engineering, not just for students but for the teacher as well. Regards, Marie
