Science Museum Oklahoma is pleased to announce it has received a $15,000 grant from the Carolyn Watson Rural Oklahoma Community Foundation through its Community Grant program. The grant was used to assist in developing capacity at the public libraries in Checotah and Westville to deliver engaging and educational hands-on science programming.

“We were absolutely thrilled to receive this grant,” says Sherry Marshall, president and CEO of Science Museum Oklahoma. “Thanks to the Carolyn Watson Rural Oklahoma Community Foundation, we were able to serve the Checotah and Westville communities through educational, hands-on science programming at their respective public libraries. This is our second year of this grant and we’re delighted to continue this important work. Because of the Foundation, STEM education will be more accessible and convenient to the citizens of both communities. We appreciate the support of the Carolyn Watson Rural Oklahoma Community Foundation and their belief in the mission of Science Museum Oklahoma.”
