Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
Hurricane Sandy has been the most devastating natural disaster to have ever struck New York City. Our school is located on the water's edge and due to the storm surge, we lost power for several days resulting in a loss of all of our biotech reagents and PCR enzymes.
Our school is a small Title I high school located in the Flatbush area of Brooklyn.
We are located in "Asthma Alley," and sandwiched between two major urban bridges- The Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.
All of my students are English Language Learners (ELL). They come from every part of the globe seeking a new life of opportunity and freedom here in the United States. They come with the hope that education will allow them to meet their full potential.
My Project
Science is a discipline that can open doors for many of our students. As a discipline that is ever changing, having access to biotechnology can offer a means to better understand the latest discoveries in this field of research.
I would like my students to have access to biotechnology while they are in school. If I can generate interest in these programs, it might inspire my students to seek out such educational opportunities on their own. Unfortunately, our school cannot afford to replace the several thousands of dollars in chemicals and restriction enzymes we lost due to Sandy.
My job is to do everything in my power to help my students graduate high school and advance to college.
As a science teacher, my goal is to unleash my students' natural curiosity about the world around us. I cannot show my students the latest advances in the field of biotechnology without your help.
Help me give my students access to knowledge, and a better understanding of our world of science.
