The Governor’s Office of Student Achievement recently announced that Martin Technology Academy of Math and Science is one of the Fiscal Year 2017 Innovation Fund tiny grant award winners.
The South Hall school will receive $9,944 for Digital Storytelling.
The program is described by Gov. Nathan Deal's office as "a competitive grant opportunity that provides funding to traditional public schools, charter schools and school districts to implement small-scale programs that directly engage students."
“The Innovation Fund Tiny Grant unites education leaders and students to provide Georgia’s students with the ability to engage in today’s most innovative academic areas,” Deal has said. “As we look to ensure that our children reach new heights in educational achievement, we must promote opportunities for more effective academic growth and success in the classroom. Congratulations to the award winners and we look forward to seeing the impact each Tiny Grant will have on the futures of Georgia students.”
Programs funded by Tiny Grants must align with one of the three following priority areas: applied learning with a focus on science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) education, development and replication of blended learning school models and birth-to-age-eight language and literacy development.
