"I am a middle school mathematics and engineering teacher at a specialized school in New York and my aim is to make learning mathematics a more meaningful and applied experience for my students. We are the only Title I magnet school of our kind with a great than 50% minority population. Our school is new and does not have its own library so each teacher is responsible for creating a classroom library of resources. Last year my class received donations for books and this year I hope to augment those books with videos related to teaching math, science, and engineering. My students would greatly benefit from having a multimedia classroom library. This collection of videos requested is intended to support their selected readings in math and science as well as inspire creativity and passion. Your support of this project will provide support and inspiration to my students and expand our classroom library resources. You will make a noticeable difference in our school by helping us to build a better place.
HIDE
My students need 21 videos to accompany and augment a list of topics used in math and engineering.
The cost of this proposal is $530, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment ."
All donors get photos and a thank-you from the teacher.

If you give $100+, you'll also get personal thank-you's from the students!
