sign

From 2004 to 2007, funding of $10,000 was given to the Science Teachers Workshop series by the John Ben Snow Foundation. The Foundation, based in Central New York, awarded the grant for equipment to be used in high school physics classes in the area. Funding was used for make-and-take workshops for construction of physics demonstrations and equipment to build a Lending Library, circulating among the schools.
