Rhode Island Invests in 21st Century Learning Environments
Recently, RIDE joined state and local leaders, students, and educators at Stephen Olney Elementary School in North Providence to announce the 21st Century Technology and Equipment Fund!
The initiative will infuse $15 million in state dollars directly into classrooms to support and enhance teaching and learning.
Local education agencies will be eligible on a per-student basis, with a minimum award of $25,000.
The initiative will provide innovative technology and equipment that foster a science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) project-based learning approach and career and technical education (CTE) pathways to ensure all students have access to high-quality learning spaces.
From collaborative desks to digital interactive smartboards, the fund will offer an immediate transformation for thousands of Rhode Island students and educators.
