How It Works

Grow MainStreet is a series of hands-on, competency based modules designed for later elementary and secondary students.  Each turnkey module is aligned to academic standards, integrates career and college exploration, and can be facilitated in-person with a certified teacher, substitute, or another employee or volunteer.  The seven GMS modules, emphasize competencies in:

• 3D Design 
• Rapid Prototyping 
• Additive Manufacturing
• Materials Science
• Computational Thinking 
• Enterprise Resource Planning 
• Internet of Things
• Cybersecurity 
• Informatics

Implementation is flexible to fit the needs and curriculum within individual schools, including:

• Adding a single module as an annual capstone activity
• Adding Multiple modules at specific grade levels to complement and extend existing units of study
• Using all of the modules within an exploratory course
• Creating a STEM based after school and/or summer enrichment program to address unfinished learning and help students prepare for postsecondary education and the workforce.

Districts may use ESSR II funds and 23g funds to purchase material kits for each student as well as 3D printers. As part of the purchase, the platform and GMS curriculum is included at no additional cost. Five of the modules require unit kits, and two of them only require a 3D printer for students to produce their deliverables.

To be eligible for 23g, districts must develop plans that describe the evidence-based actions the district is taking to keep kids on track. The legislation also requires that plans developed for eligibility purposes be included in a district’s MICIP plan.Click on the hypertext below for step-by-step directions to update your MICIP plan by October 31, 2023, in order to be eligible for state funding. (Note: $300 per non-proficient/partially proficient student on the math and ELA portions of 3-7 MSTEP, PSAT 8, and SAT as the minimum allocation for 23g if all districts apply and are deemed eligible.  The actual allocation will be determined once the application closes on October 31 and the list of eligible districts is compiled.)
