Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

The transformation kit will provide students with hands-on experience in genetic engineering, protein purification, and electrophoresis, significantly enhancing their understanding of molecular biology concepts. By engaging in these practical activities, students will develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, preparing them for future scientific endeavors. This project aims to inspire a passion for science and foster a deeper comprehension of biotechnological processes.

My students are incredibly curious and eager to learn, bringing diverse backgrounds and unique perspectives that enrich our classroom environment.

With your support, I can provide them with the tools they need to explore and innovate, nurturing their potential to become the next generation of scientists and innovators.

Your contribution will make a profound difference in their learning journey, helping to ignite their passion for science and encouraging them to think creatively and critically. Please help us enrich their science experience and inspire innovative thinking.
