Cutting Edge Lab Equipment For Students Who Need It Most
My students need cutting edge laboratory equipment such as probes and sensors to prepare for college science classes and careers in STEM fields.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. B.'s classroom raised $972

Celebrating 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 Students
I serve a community that consists mainly of low-income students, immigrant students, and students of color. My students have tremendous amounts of school spirit and actively participate as members of their communities. Gun violence and gang-related trauma are tragically commonplace within the school and frequently effect my students inside and outside the classroom. However, the hope and strength of my students and their communities are unwavering.
My students are always eager to engage in activities that are relevant to their experiences or intersect with their ever-developing identities.
My Project
Students at my school have had little to no access to cutting edge technology and equipment for far too long. If we are to prepare students for a twenty-first century workforce, one that demands flexibility, problem-solving abilities and critical thinking, then we have to meet our students halfway. I do this on a daily basis by working tirelessly to provide students with innovative learning experiences that require them to understand the world around them. However, I am often limited in the ways in which I can introduce students to innovative science because equipment is costly.
In this project, I am asking for support in providing my students with access to laboratory equipment that they can use to measure experiments in real-time.
This is fundamental to today's STEM education. Students will immediately and directly be using the lab supplies in this project such as probes and sensors, to engage in inquiry-based learning to uncover gas laws, particle behaviors and dynamics while engaging with state of the art technology. I'm trying to prepare students to be scientists, and they need access to technology to be truly prepared. Please consider supporting this project and help me in my pursuit of equal access to STEM for all students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
