Thousands of students have the opportunity to participate in innovative educational projects, thanks to a long-standing program funded by the California Table Grape Commission on behalf of California table grape growers.
The “Innovation in Teaching” grant program was created in 1993 to support innovative teaching projects in the California table grape growing regions of the San Joaquin and Coachella valleys. Projects include the areas of agriculture, math, science, art, health, and technology.
In total, 51 education grants worth up to $750 each were awarded. The funded projects will be implemented in the current academic year and will reach over 9,000 students, grades K through 12.
“It is great to see so many exciting and innovative projects being implemented by teachers in the state’s table grape growing regions,” said Kathleen Nave, President of the Commission.
Examples of projects being funded this year include using robotic kits, mannequins that will help teach students how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and the creation of mobile applications.
