AI Summary
This bill, the Supporting STEM Learning Opportunities Act, aims to provide hands-on learning opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.

The bill authorizes the Director of the National Science Foundation to provide grants to eligible nonprofit programs to support hands-on STEM learning, with priority given to programs serving students at schools implementing certain school improvement activities or serving high percentages of students from low-income families.
