Help me give my students the opportunity to EXPERIENCE science through hands-on earth and space science labs, creative engineering endeavors, engaging biology and physical science games, and the ability to view the world on a microscopic level!
My students come from the inner city of Detroit, and we don't have the best resources to study science. My students don't even have textbooks, and we go through curriculum using PowerPoints and any other resources found online. I believe I can make science a lot more engaging and real to my students if these materials are available to them. The microscopes have a powerful enough magnification to view the organelles inside cells, bacteria, and more. They're also digital, giving me the ability to share what's being viewed with the entire class at once, through using a projector or SMART board. The 3D-printer filament and laser engraver will help us to create a CAD and engineering lab, and the science games will make learning biology concepts more enjoyable. Lastly, the earth and space science kits will allow students to collect empirical data to explore different phenomena.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
