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.
