We have an amazing group of talented, dedicated, and diverse students that compete at a high level despite operating on a shoe-string budget. Our students consistently earn high accolades through sheer force of will. Somehow they always rise to the challenge and hold their own against properly funded schools across the country using their ingenuity and ability. With the proper support our school could become a premier STEM program in our city.
As part of the largest high school in the Philadelphia School District, our school is home to over 3,500 students with over 50 languages spoken and just as many socioeconomic backgrounds.
School provides a safe space where students' differences are embraced and students can focus on their learning and growth as scientists and as emerging adults.
My Project
I am requesting a vinyl cutting machine which will be added to our Innovation Lab which has been fully funded thanks to DonorsChoose and their partners.
Our students have been displaced for the entire 2020-2021 school year and we cannot wait to welcome them back to the building in the fall and share these brand new learning experiences with them.
By supporting this project you will be enabling students to merge their love of artistic expression with their desire to explore STEAM concepts. Our students are yearning to advance their knowledge in digital modeling, robotics, 3D printing and more. This machine will help them bring their ideas to life and further their abilities to create amazing work.
Nearly all 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
