lgbtq+ youth doing cool things (as usual):

this is Geo, and last year his robotics team applied for one of our Changemakers grants to help get more lgbtq+ youth interested in STEM and robotics. and it's workinggg!

so far, they've created the Rainbow Robotics initiative, to help other robotics teams learn how to create more inclusive environments. through Rainbow Robotics, they're planning on hosting 15 events(!) with workshops, forming the Rainbow Robotics alliance with other teams, hosting a teen resource fair to get kids interested in robotics, and are planning an inclusive children's book!

annnd they just revealed the robot they built.

if you have an idea like Geo's to make things better for queer youth in your community, you're in luck: apps are open now for the next round of It Gets Better: Changemakers! you can apply now for your own grant through may 3 here - can't wait to see all of your ideas!

Teachers: Take note!

The Corsi-Rosenthal Foundation is accepting grant applications to help put CR-box air filters in classrooms. Not only can air filters substantially reduce the spread of disease and student absences, it's a great STEM activity to do with kids of all ages!
