Pittsburgh Learning Commons has been piloting a Mycofuturism: mushroom and art internship program to explore future uses of fungi and mushrooms with teens.

We'd love any resources and input if you are a mushroom fan.  And we hope that by next Fall, this could be a program that we'd share out with others more broadly.

The STEM PUSH, an NSF INCLUDES Alliance, is a national network of of pre-college STEM programs, STEM and culturally responsive pedagogy experts, formal and informal education practitioners, college admissions professionals, the accreditation sector, and other higher education representatives. It is establishing a powerful collaborative improvement space using the networked improvement community (NIC) model and a "next generation" accreditation model that will serve as a mechanism for communicating the power of precollege programs to admissions offices.

Currently, there are 17 pre-college STEM programs and 4 ecosystems - the goal is 40-45 PCSPs and 10 urban ecosystems.

The STEM PUSH Network will initially work in four urban STEM Ecosystems (New York City, Pittsburgh, Chicago, and the Bay Area). This is the first initial cohort. Together these partners are positioned to affect transformative change in post-secondary admissions.

The expansion plan is rooted in the STEM Learning Ecosystem Community of Practice (SLECoP) model. SLECoP is a network of more than 90 ecosystems across the nation. SLECoP will identify six additional urban ecosystems during the project, based on factors that consider the number of STEM PCSPs, university partners and enthusiasm to expand the work.

Remake Learning offers catalytic grants to support innovative learning projects and practices throughout southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia.

Building on the bold, experimental work of the Tomorrow Grants, Remake Learning is excited to introduce Moonshot Grants!

Moonshot Grants will support big, bold ideas in teaching and learning, ideas that address the challenges and the opportunities currently facing young people, educators, and caregivers.

As we continue to respond to pandemic conditions and grapple with a changing social, economic, political, and racial landscape, a return to our previous status quo is unlikely. Moonshot Grants approach this reality as an opportunity, seeking ideas, collaborators, solutions, and innovations that both address existing challenges and anticipate new ones.

Moonshot Grant applicants are required to attend one informational workshop before submitting a proposal.

Preferred Future of Learning

Moonshot Grants will challenge applicants to envision what they hope learning will look like in ten to twenty years, what we call a preferred future of learning. Successful applicants will look for inspiration in signals of change, or the early examples of how preferred futures are emerging today. Their projects will capture the bold, experimental actions we can take today to accelerate us toward a preferred future.

Preference will be given to projects that prioritize bold experimentation, incorporate collaboration, and center equity and justice.

Grant recipients will join the Moonshot cohort and further develop their ideas through professional learning and community building.

We anticipate holding two rounds of Moonshot Grants. The first will open in February 2021 and the second will open in June.

February 4 - Request for proposals opens

February 18, March 9, March 25 - Informational workshops for prospective applicants
(Please note: Applicants are required to attend an informational workshop prior to submitting a proposal.)

April 11 - Proposals due

May 10 - Recipients announced

Based on the type of project proposed, applicants can request either:

Catalytic funding, up to $30,000.
Catalytic funds will support never-before-seen ideas, untested theories, and deeply experimental projects.

Advancing funding, up to $70,000.
Advancing funds will support projects that test emerging ideas. While still bold and experimental in nature, these projects may be based on other exploratory projects or early research. Those applying for Advancing funds will be asked to provide examples of corresponding work.

Eligibility & Requirements

To be eligible to receive funding, Moonshot applicants must:

Be listed in the Remake Learning network directory. (You can add yourself here.)

Be a 501(c)3, school, university, or fiscally sponsored project.

Be based in Remake Learning's greater Pittsburgh, PA service area.

Attend one of the informational workshops before submitting a proposal.

If awarded a grant, attend ongoing cohort workshops.

Informational Workshops & Office Hours

Moonshot Grant applicants are required to attend one informational workshop before submitting a proposal. These sessions will help applicants understand the RFP process and craft their proposal ideas.

In addition, Remake Learning will offer open office hour sessions throughout the submission period to answer applicant questions. Attendance is not required.
