Celestron Binocular Grant

Kids on a bridge look into the distance through binoculars.

Our friends at Celestron are supporting 12 classrooms who engage in participatory science or nature-based inquiry projects that could benefit from having high-quality optics. Whether you’re watching a bird feeder, going out on regular bird walks, or participating in a bio blitz, share with us how your students are practicing their science skills and what you could accomplish with a classroom set of 10 Celestron binoculars.

As a grant recipient, you will be required to share your experiences using the binoculars with the K-12 Education team through blogs and social media. Only teachers at public or private K-12 schools in the United States will be considered.

We received over 200 competitive applications for the 2024 Celestron Binocular Grant. We are pleased to announce this years winners and we can’t wait to see how these tools bring their students joy while helping them learn about science and nature. Thanks to our friends at Celestron for making it possible! Congratulations to our winners.
