THE
SPE FOUNDATION/THERMOFORMING DIVISION MATCHING GRANTS PROGRAM FOR
NATIONAL PLASTICS CENTER & MUSEUM PLASTIVAN™ VISITS
Grants
from The SPE Foundation/Thermoforming Division are available every
year, funds permitting, to support visits by the National Plastics
Center & Museum PlastiVan™ Program.
The
National Plastics Center & Museum PlastiVanprogram is an internationally
acclaimed educational program geared for students in grades three
through twelve. The PlastiVans travel throughout the United States,
teaching students, educators, and the public about the chemistry,
history, processing and environmental issues involved with plastics.
Six
different programs are available: Elementary Lab (grades 3 - 5),
Middle School Lab (grades 6 - 8), High School Lab, Assembly Program
for middle and high school students as well as adult groups, Educator
Workshop (for teachers), and Corporate Training Days (a day with
the van at your facility).
PlastiVan
programs are $1,300 per day and are usually sponsored by local
companies
for programs in their area. If you are interested in sponsoring
the van for the schools in your town and need more information
about
the PlastiVan program, call the Outreach Office at the National
Plastics Center and Museum at (978) 840-1950.
To
be eligible for a $650 PlastiVan Grant to offset the cost of
bringing the van to your area, your company:
- Must
be involved in the thermoforming industry (i.e., a thermoforming
company, an extruder who provides sheet to a thermoforming company,
a mold making company that provides molds to a thermoforming company,
etc.)
- Must
complete a Thermoforming
Division Matching Funds Grant form and submit it to The SPE
Foundation prior to the scheduled visit.
If you have
questions about the Thermoforming Division Matching Funds Grant
for a PlastiVan visit, contact Gail Bristol at The SPE Foundation
via e-mail at foundation@4spe.org
or call (203) 740-5447.
