SCIENCE BOUND at the
Marshalltown Community School District
Students from Marshalltown participate in Iowa State University's Early Outreach Program in the summer.
Fisher Controls, Inc., committed $40,000 from 2007 to 2011 to continue the SCIENCE BOUND program in Marshall County, Iowa.
The SB program was successfully piloted in Marshalltown Community School District during 2006 with funding from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
More than 36 families and 10 teachers participated in the pilot program.
The Marshalltown school district will move from a pilot to a formal program in the fall of 2007. In addition, SCIENCE BOUND will extend the program throughout Marshall County by the fall of 2009.
