This grant will support the Griffith Observatory Fifth-Grade School Programs, which provide free, standards-based STEM education to thousands of Los Angeles County students annually. Through in-person field trips and live virtual experiences, students explore astronomy, planetary science, and hands-on experiments led by Observatory experts. The programs are designed to spark curiosity, reinforce classroom learning, and expand access to high-quality science education for underserved youth.
