Bright Ideas is a grant program from Jackson EMC that funds creative and innovative classroom projects in middle schools. Educators who teach grades 6-8 can earn up to $2,000 for classroom projects that would not be funded otherwise.

With a Bright Ideas grant, some of our recent recipients have included solar car building, robotics, and wind turbine technology in lesson plans for their students.

To apply for a Bright Ideas grant, applications must be submitted online no later than June 4. Applicants must be state-certified educators in a public middle school in Jackson EMC’s service area.
