My Project
My students are curious, determined, and thrive in hands-on environments. They ask big questions, love to explore, and feel empowered when learning connects to the real world. The gloves will keep their hands safe during gardening and messy science experiments. They have been diligent in helping with the school garden. The gram scales help them learn precision in measuring and data collection. The cleaning brushes and pouches will protect and maintain our lab materials. The canopy will give us shade during outdoor lessons, making learning both comfortable and exciting. These tools will deepen engagement and build lasting STEM confidence.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
