We really appreciate your reading our project. Our school is in a high poverty, inner city area. Most of my students come from a single-parent household, and will be the first in their family to go to college. Good jobs are hard to find in our area without awareness and skills in emerging technology. Tech jobs are a growing area of jobs in our area & I want out students to be ready! Young people from low socioeconomic areas usually go on to low paying jobs, continuing the cycle of poverty, many ending up in the prison system. Education & STEM career training can help break this cycle of poverty. These materials allow students to work with hands-on application of science, technology, engineering & math. These students will also serve as models for other students in STEM continuing the effects of this project and changing lives for years to come.
