Aviation Adventurers through STEM

Please help me allow my students to study and learn more about solar power and aviation using STEM kits. This is an excellent way to gain hands-on experience that will stay with them.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Fonoimoana's classroom raised $238

My Project

The science STEM kits will allow my students to gain hands-experience in building solar models they can’t get through books.

I have 22 students from various backgrounds living in a tight-knit community.

Living on an island, we rely heavily on aviation to travel and commute off-island. My dream for my students is that having this kit and having this experience will inspire them to build their knowledge and interest in aviation and one day work in the aviation sector.
