BEST BUY

Best Buy is proud to support K-12 schools using interactive technology to make learning fun. Best Buy believes that when technology is used effectively it can engage students and have a positive impact on their ability to learn.

The Best Buy te@ch program recognizes creative uses of interactive technology in K-12 classrooms. Winning te@ch programs focus on kids using technology to learn standards-based curriculum, rather than on teaching students to use technology or educators using technology that children aren't able to use hands-on. The purpose of te@ch is to reward schools for the successful interactive programs they have launched using available technology. Schools must be located within 50 miles of a Best Buy store to be eligible.

Funds: $2,500

Deadline: Educators must apply between July 1 and September 30.
