iPads for Indigenous Innovation: A Path to Scientific Discovery

My Project

I love how curious, resilient, and creative my students are. They come from a culturally rich community with a deep respect for the Earth and sky—values that beautifully align with our studies in Physical Science, Earth, and Space Science. My students are eager to learn, but limited resources often hold us back from exploring science in interactive and meaningful ways.

This project will provide one iPad Pro for teacher instruction and five student iPads to support hands-on learning, research, and creativity.

These devices will allow us to access virtual labs, science simulations, and cultural connections to nature and the cosmos. With your support, my students will not only learn science—they will experience it, connect it to their heritage, and gain the tools to thrive in a modern world while staying rooted in who they are.
