Grants Give Innovative Teachers the Funds for Creative Science Projects

10/01/99

Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the 2000 Toyota TAPESTRY program, sponsored by Toyota Motor Sales USA, Inc. and National Science Teachers Association, will award 50 grants of up to $10,000 to K-12 science teachers. Interested teachers should propose innovative science projects that can be implemented in their school or school district over a one-year period.

Individual science teachers or a team of up to five teachers can submit proposals in two categories -- environmental education and physical science applications (applied physics, chemistry and technology). Toyota TAPESTRY projects have been known to demonstrate creativity, involve risk-taking, possess a visionary quality and model a novel way of presenting science. Deadline for receipt of proposals is January 20, 2000. Toyota TAPESTRY Grants for Teachers, Arlington, VA, (800) 807-9852, www.nsta.org/programs/toyota.htm.
