Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I’m privileged to sponsor an amazing group of students for the Science Olympiad as well as classroom science. Science Olympiad explores the world of STEM both in the classroom and competitive settings.

My students are a bright and curious group who love anything that involves hands-on science activities.

While we are able to use many inexpensive and easily obtainable materials for our practice activities, a KNEX set would allow us additional activities and multiple building projects.

My Project

Most of the materials we have available are inexpensive consumables that are a one-time use only product. They also are everyday products, like straws, craft sticks, rubber bands, that we use our imagination with to complete our builds and activities. The KNEX sets would greatly expand what we can explore. The five sets would be shared by two teachers so the money would be invested in permanent kits instead of makeshift materials we are using now. They also would be able to practice for the upcoming Science Olympiad we are preparing for this year.
