Ampers - Educational Outreach
Ampers has heard from many teachers that they would like to use some of the programs that we produce in their classrooms and they would like easier access to the programs. For this project Ampers will take several steps to make it easier for teachers to access existing and new artistic, historical and cultural programs. The website will be enhanced to allow teachers to download entire series rather than individual segments. We are trying to secure booths at educational conferences and will be working with the Department of Education and other resources to help get the materials into more classrooms.
$1,470,000 the first year and $1,666,000 the second year are to the Association of Minnesota Public Educational Radio Stations for production and acquisition grants in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 129D.19.
More Minnesotans of all ages, ethnicities, abilities, and income will have access to artistic, cultural, and historical programmingMinnesotans (especially teachers) will have easier access to locally focused content and Minnesota focused content produced by public radio which will also increase the number of local artists, historians, writers, and others who have their work showcased through public radioThe project will help increase awareness and knowledge of history and how it affected people's lives so that it can help Minnesotans to make informed decisions in the future
