Application for Sponsored 2024 Duke Energy Science Night Activity Kit

Duke Energy Science Night

Funding from the Duke Energy Foundation allows NCSciFest staff to produce STEM activities and resource kits for use by elementary schools across the state. This program is designed to help you host a fun science event for your students and their families with the use of a kit that includes hands-on activities aligned with K-5 Science Standards, a planning guide, activity instructions, materials for up to 200 participants, and the support of NCSciFest staff throughout your planning process.

The Duke Energy Foundation sponsorship funds a limited number of kits to award at no charge. These are awarded to schools using an application process that includes a review of the school's statement, need, demographics, geography, and past participation.

Please discuss the program and application with school administrators and staff before applying.  If you have questions, please contact the NCSciFest team by email (ncscifestschools@unc.edu) or phone (919-962-3274).

Application deadline is September 22, 2023.  Schools will be notified of their status on September 28, 2023. Selected schools will need to confirm their commitment to hosting an April 2024 event by October 5, 2023. There is a high demand for this program and so we do create a short waitlist in case a selected school declines. Kits will ship mid February, 2024.

Due to the limited number of fully sponsored kits, we are hoping to obtain funding that we would use to create a number of subsidies which would reduce the cost of a purchased kit for the selected schools. The subsidy would pay up to half the cost of a purchased kit (full price cost of $595 plus tax) and the school would be invoiced for and prepay the remaining cost.
