Awarded May 2025 · $41,000 · Eastern Montana Science Center · Scientific · Cycle 73 · May 2026

The Mobile Science Lab retrofits a sixteen-foot trailer into a traveling hands-on science classroom serving K–8 students in schools too small to sustain a science teacher. Each visit runs an age-banded half-day program tied to Montana state standards, with follow-up kits that teachers can use for independent extension work.
