Exelon Foundation Green Lab Grant Program

The Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago in partnership with the Exelon Foundation, is inviting out-of-school time (OST) providers to develop a “STEM lab of the future” aimed at tackling solutions to the environmental crisis, with a minds-on approach and hands-on science skills.

Recipients of the Exelon Foundation Green Lab Grant will be provided with funding to create or modernize new or existing spaces with interactive activities grounded in science, technology, math and/or engineering.

Goals:

§  Provide high school-aged youth from traditionally under-resourced areas with access to labs with new/updated equipment.

§  Encourage a deeper understanding of how technology can be leveraged to promote environmental sustainability.

§  Provide opportunities to promote youth problem-solving and creativity using new technologies.

§  Foster career exposure and opportunities for students in each of the Exelon Foundation’s service areas.
