Caston School Corp. was recently awarded two grants from Project Lead the Way totaling $35,000 to improve curriculum for its students.
PLTW Instructor Nate Speitel wrote one grant to improve the junior high engineering curriculum, so that students are better prepared when they choose to take high school engineering classes for credit. The PLTW Gateway Grant awarded is for $15,000 over two years.
The second grant is a PLTW Computer Science Grant for $20,000 over two years. This grant will be utilized to build a computer science curriculum that meets the new IDOE computer science course requirement for high school graduation. Caston Curriculum Coordinator, Shelly Sarver and Business Teacher, Lindsey Brubaker will be working on bringing this new course to Caston students.
Both grants will provide instructor training and equipment needed for the courses.
