Eighth grade science classes in dozens of rural schools across California and Texas will receive STEM curriculum and support from Sonoma State University thanks to a recent $7.9 million grant. The U.S. Department of Education grant will go toward expanding the Rohnert Park university’s STEM and Computing Education Support program. The program offers three main benefits for randomly selected schools: STEM — science, technology, engineering and math — curriculum, professional development and support and coaching from SSU faculty. Fifty percent of the schools benefiting from the grant will be rural.
