EcoStem To The Rescue!

My students need a hands-on renewable energy kit in order to learn the importance of clean energy sources.

My Students

I encourage my students to get their hands dirty in science, literally! I like to provide them with as many hands-on opportunities as possible.

My students are lively and inquisitive; they are happy to be at school, ready to learn, and deserve more than our district can provide right now.

We are a Title I school in a large, urban district, which means that the vast majority of our students are socioeconomically challenged. Rather than hindering my students however, it just seems to encourage my students to make the most of their education.

My Project

My students will be so excited to get their hands on this EcoSTEM energy kit! They are going to design and build wind, water and solar powered renewable energy devices. How exciting is that? This kit also provides the opportunity to give. Students will create a solar-powered room light and phone charger that will be sent to a student in a community where electrical power isn't always available.

Learning about renewable energy is so important, but it's difficult to teach without hands-on materials to make these concepts concrete for them.

Having this kit will provide my students with so many engaging and inquiry based projects. They'll look forward to coming to school to work on this!
