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 Project
The chemistry supplies we’re requesting will directly enhance students’ learning by allowing them to conduct hands-on experiments that bring theoretical concepts to life. These materials will enable students to apply what they’ve learned in a practical setting, reinforcing their understanding and sparking curiosity. My goal for this project is to create an engaging, interactive learning environment where students can actively explore chemistry and develop critical thinking skills that go beyond textbooks.
What makes my students special is their enthusiasm and curiosity.
They are eager to learn, but without the proper supplies, they can’t fully experience the excitement of discovery. By providing them with these necessary materials, we can give them the tools to thrive and pursue their passion for science. Your donation will make a lasting difference in their educational journey! Thank you!
