This project is fully funded
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.
My Students
We are a public charter school that is home to a diverse population of students who predominantly come from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Our institution has qualified for Title I designation since its inception in 2009, with 86% of the student population eligible for free or reduced meals.
Low-income communities, like the one surrounding our institution, often lack easily accessible full-service grocery stores and farmers’ markets where residents can buy high-quality produce and other healthy food products.
Low-income communities tend to have greater availability of fast food restaurants, especially near schools (there are 15 fast-food restaurants within 2 miles of the school). Studies have shown the rates of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart attacks to be higher in low-income communities.
Furthermore, Florida has lost 45% of its cropland due to urban development in the last two decades, which has also negatively impacted the availability of locally-grown fresh produce in the community.
Our students have shown a vested interest in gardening and agriculture, as well as technology. Thus, we have decided to start an AgTech program which will empower our students to use STEM-oriented concepts to increase the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables to the surrounding community.
My Project
The products that are being requested will help to complete our AgriTech system setup. With the Universal AC/DC Adapter Switching Power Supply, Ball Bearing Brushless DC Cooling Fan, Outdoor Heavy Duty Extension Cord, LED Plant Grow Light, with Thermometer, and other items we will be able to get the project underway and begin to grow natural produce. The program will help to educate students in the plants sciences. The program will eventually help provide fresh fruits and vegetables to the school and surrounding communities. It is our hope that we can complete our first full grow cycle by the end of the school, and continue to grow the program into and influential part of the community. It will be exciting to see the end result.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
