The Loeb Prize
Carol B. and Jerome T. Loeb established the Loeb Prize in 1995 in partnership with the Saint Louis Science Center. The Loeb Prize, which provides more than $7,000 to five classroom teachers, is designed to reward and recognize math and science teachers who significantly enhance student performance.
Let’s work together to ignite a passion for science and technology. Reach out at 314.286.4680 or education@slsc.org.
