Mr. Flood from Saint Paul MN is requesting technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Solar Energy - Now!

My students need Solar Power supplies, including 4 Solar Bottle Boat Kits, a Light Intensity Meter and a Comprehensive Solar Electricity Kit.

  • $582 goal

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

I teach 11th and 12th grade math classes an a pre-engineering program for students in grades 7-12.

My students want to save the world and they need some help discovering how! The tools they need, including a solid foundation in mathematics and science, seem disconnected from the world they know. In their lifetime, alternative energies will become mainstream, but only if we better understand how they work and help develop these resources!

By introducing students to the math and science behind photovoltaics, they connect their studies to real-world problems while discovering a way to save the world!

Your donation will help them learn first-hand how alternative energies work. Our students will build the future. Your help will help them learn how!
