The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $198,882 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Merit Strategy LLC, a woman-owned small business located in Boulder, CO. The grant, titled "EAGER: RESHAPE PUBLIC PERCEPTIONS OF ENGINEERING. A HUMAN-CENTERED EXPLORATION OF EARLY LEARNERS EXPERIENCES AND PERCEPTIONS", aims to examine how engineering concepts can be introduced to children from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in positive and age-appropriate ways. The project will investigate how early learners perceive engineering and how those perceptions form within the changing educational landscape, with the goal of broadening public understanding of engineering and strengthening the pipeline of engineering talent to meet future workforce demands. The exploratory project will run from July 2025 through June 2026.
