We’re thrilled to announce the recent winners of Best Buy’s School Tech Grants. Fourteen elementary schools across Canada will each receive up to $10,000 in funding to bring new technology into their classrooms. Schools can use the grants to create dynamic, tech-ready learning environments to keep students inspired while they learn and grow.
The School Tech Grants has three categories. The general School Tech Grant provides up to $10,000 to help schools upgrade classroom technology and improve student learning. The $5,000 eSports Grant supports schools that want to establish or expand their eSports program by funding gaming consoles, computers, software, and related equipment. And, one school will receive a Google Chromebook Package, which includes a classroom set of Chromebooks worth $10,000 to enhance students’ access to Google’s latest technology.
