My Project

This will be a special project because a lot of students have never or will never get to experience of seeing animals grow and form. This is a perfect project to pull the students away from YouTube videos and allow them create a memorable experience with the insect and frog kits.

My students need relatable hands-on STEM opportunities that.

We are located in a high crime and low-income area. As teachers we try to give our students the best opportunities and expose them to more than what they see in their communities. With your help we can make that possible.
