My students need 10 digital cameras and memory cards to help document their progression through STEM related activities. This will help them communicate their work.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. McGonigal's classroom raised $364

My Students
I support a STEM and project based learning environment in the classroom. I enjoy giving students projects that require a development of ideas and hands-on work. I teach science and math exclusively and could benefit from extra funding to make science and math come alive.
Teaching in a Title One school can be very challenging at times.
Our students often lack experiences that other students take for granted. Our students often need more support academically and emotionally. What they lack in experience they make up for in enthusiasm and interest.
My Project
Using digital cameras in the classroom is a terrific way for students to document their progress through their work, especially in science. I am a STEM educational leader and our students would have a lot of opportunities to work through projects and designs. The use of digital images is a powerful way to show their progress through the stages of their design. It will also provide needy students with an opportunity to communicate using 21st Century skills. This year we are taking our Science Fair and upgrading to a true STEM Fair. All of our students will be creating digital presentations of their projects. The digital cameras would be a great step to help them tell their stories.
The students would be so excited to be given an opportunity to manage their own camera and documentation while working in collaborative groups.
The use of digital images are also a valuable tool that would engage students and help them better communicate with classmates. The images would also be valuable to communicate to others in the school, as well as parents, the great things that are happening in our school.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
