The Governor’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Advisory Council, in partnership with Kemin Industries, will be accepting nominations through Oct. 14. The award recognizes one full-time, licensed K-12 teacher from each of the six STEM regions across the state for their passion in motivating their students to develop a lasting interest in STEM, both in and out of the classroom. The six teachers selected each will receive $1,500 and an additional $1,500 for their classroom. Anyone can nominate a teacher. Honorees will be announced in spring 2017.
