My Project
How will the specific items you’re requesting make a difference in their learning?
The CPR dog will provide hands-on, realistic practice for students learning CPR techniques.
This practical experience is crucial for building confidence and competence in emergency situations. By practicing on a lifelike model, students can better understand the correct pressure and rhythm needed for effective chest compressions, which can significantly improve their ability to perform CPR in real-life scenarios.
What are your goals for this project?
The primary goal is to enhance students' CPR skills through realistic and practical training. By incorporating the CPR dog into our curriculum, we aim to ensure that all students are well-prepared to respond to cardiac emergencies. Additionally, we hope to foster a sense of responsibility and readiness among students, empowering them to act confidently and effectively in critical situations.
What makes your students special?
Our students are dedicated, compassionate, and eager to learn. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring unique perspectives to the classroom. Their commitment to helping others and their enthusiasm for acquiring life-saving skills make them exceptional. By providing them with the best training tools, like the CPR dog, we can support their growth and development as future healthcare providers or responsible community members.
