Rep. Lukens Presents STEM Grant to Walking Mountain Science Center
VAIL, CO –
Representative Meghan Lukens last week presented the
Walking Mountain Science Center
with a Colorado Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) Pipeline Grant at Red Sandstone Elementary. The grant, supported by
We Work For Health
, aims to boost student access to science and technology across Colorado.
“How exciting is it to present a Colorado STEM Pipeline Grant to the Walking Mountain Science Center, congratulations to all!,”
said Rep. Meghan Lukens, D-Steamboat Springs.
“I’m thrilled the Walking Mountain Science Center will soon have more resources to boost environmental science in the classroom – further encouraging our students to explore their passions for STEM education. Recent laws we passed will help drive more funding to rural and underserved school districts and support our students in achieving their dreams. Together, we’re building a stronger educational foundation for students in Vail Valley and beyond.”
At the state house, Rep. Lukens supported
HB24-1446
, a bipartisan law to boost science instruction and performance in K-12 schools. She also proudly supported groundbreaking education legislation including
HB24-1448
, the new public school finance formula, and
SB24-188
, the 2024 School Finance Act, which eliminates the budget stabilization factor (BSF).
In addition to HB24-1448 and SB24-188, Rep. Lukens was the prime sponsor of education legislation to bring more
school psychologists
to Colorado and establish an
Educator Safety Task Force
.
