When I look at those two documents, one the one hand, I am glad that STEM teams are getting funded.

On the other hand, I am sad that we aren't talking about similar Michigan grants for communities that want to participate in more than one STEM program, or in some other single program.

And, I am sad that in addition to not describing grants for other programs, they further narrow communities choices by not helping to start HS FTC teams in Michigan.

I hope someone can confidently answer those other questions I posted.
