Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Our school is trying to build up the science department. Last year, next to zero dissections occurred in biology class. If these students are to be future physicians, they need to delve into the world of organs and scalpels as soon as possible! Help lead them down that road!

My students live in a town that is high in poverty and low in quality education.

However, they attend a KIPP charter school that fully supports their climbing the mountain of success. Many of them have the capacity and want to learn, but they need the materials.

My Project

Everyone knows that they have eyes to see and a central processing center for sight and other daily activities. With the sheep brain and eye, each student will be able to get an inside view of how some of the main aspects of the body work. In turn, their understandings of life processes and their curiosities will both be brought to higher levels, developing young scientists every step of the way.

Funding this project will help squash some of the misconceptions young minds pick up from their environment.

It will also develop a yearning to know and seek further knowledge. The more students from rural communities learn, the more they can take home to their families to share. In turn, knowledge can push a rural community such as ours to take better care of itself, the people, and the environment.
