Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I have the pleasure of teaching middle school scholars at a STEM middle school in the metro Atlanta area. These STEM scholars exude a willingness to learn and push through challenging problems that the world and community face. Through their inquisitiveness and ambition to solve global and local issues, these scholars are able to produce creative solutions and innovative ideas. Perseverance to be a success in this world is easily observed.

These students are unique because they are able to overcome both environmental and social challenges which allows them to diminish any limitations placed on them by outside influences

My Project

Gardening materials and portable greenhouses will provide students with an opportunity to solve food accessibility problems within the local community.

Through gardening, students will be able to learn through critical thinking and problem solving to solve the issue of quality food accessibility.

With these materials, students will be able to engage in real world learning experiences that can positively change their community. Gardening materials (seeds, shovels etc) and portable greenhouses elicits excellent opportunities for students to engage in the core pillars of STEM which will help prepare students for the real world.
