Engineering and Designing Clean, Shared Air!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Malara's classroom raised $763

My Project

Just about every single student in my school passes through my room every week. All of them are eager, excited and willing participants in our computer science lessons. Unfortunately, many students are sick, and the ventilation in our lab is not adequate to protect my students.

We've spoke in the upper grades about engineering solutions, and how we can use science and math to effect positive change in our school community.

Having these supplies will give my students a hands-on engineering experience to build Corsi-Rosenthal boxes which will filter the air in our computer lab/library.

My students are the future scientists and vaccine developers, they are the future engineers and mathematicians and city planners. They are the people who will benefit the most from having a successful elementary school experience, and with your help, not only can I protect their health, I can provide them with real world experiences that will enact change.
