My Project

STEM education will provide my kindergarteners with a strong foundation in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. I would like to provide my students with lessons and experiments that foster an interest in the area of STEM. My students will be future researchers and innovators.

I am requesting an air purifier so that my students can engage in hands-on STEM learning.

We have been discussing the importance of clean air during the winter season (and all of the viruses), so it will be perfect for them to see a real air purifier in action. They will learn the science behind how air purifiers reduce the risk of transmission of viruses and thus, feel much safer in the classroom. My students will be amazed that this purifier can can remove over 99% of contaminants from the air, including the respiratory droplets coming from talking, singing, and breathing that spread the virus. I hope they can take this knowledge and share it with their families like proud little scientists!
