My Project

Help me give my students the tools they need such as a laser engraver, to take their labs and projects to another level. I work hard to incorporate creative projects and STEM challenges into my high school science curriculum. Students are often limited to what they can draw or cut out with scissors.

My students have big ideas and this laser etch would allow those big ideas to come to fruition.

When creativity abounds in the classroom, the concepts really begin to click. Please help me give my students the opportunity to express their big ideas.

Ms. Meadows will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 5.
