The funds can be used for a wide variety of projects, including research, planning, new programs and other activities.
The Hands-On Partnership for Science, Literature, and Art, in South Dakota was formed to increase access to hands-on science, literature, and arts experiences by citizens of rural and reservation communities. The HOP program features turn-key traveling exhibits, using modern technology and fun.
