Summary
The bill would let the Maine Technology Institute award competitive grants to Maine‑based organizations that run experiential science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) competitions for high‑school students. Grants require a national partnership, plans to broaden participation for under‑represented groups, a university partnership, and matching funds. Funding was earmarked at $75,000 for each of the 2025‑26 and 2026‑27 fiscal years, but the measure failed in the Senate.
