In 1994 HHMI awarded the Carnegie Institution $200,000 to support the First Light Science School, a neighborhood Saturday school focusing on interactive science and serving innercity children in grades 3-6. Through a National Science Foundation award, the Carnegie Institution has established the Carnegie Academy for Science Education (CASE) to train pre-K through sixth-grade teachers in the District of Columbia public schools in science and mathematics. The First Light Science School serves as a laboratory and testing site for teaching interactive science to elementary school children. The Institute award supplements the National Science Foundation grant by providing funds for supplies, teacher stipends, computer equipment, and assessment activities.
