Help me give my students the chance to use new technology by allowing them the chance to use these digital microscopes.

FULLY FUNDED! Coach Lloyd's classroom raised $690

My Students

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, I see my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, they never fail to work hard to improve their academics.

Many of them qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, are given food bags for the weekend, and struggle academically.

That said, they are exceptionally hard workers and dedicated to improving their academic outcomes. I am extremely proud of them and excited for how our school year will go. I want to start this year with a plethora of resources to aid my students' learning as well as the tools to be successful.

My Project

Having access to these Carson digital microscopes will change the way my students are able to access materials we need to view through a microscope. We are setup to use the standard, older microscopes during our science lab sessions.

Being able to use digital microscopes that connect to our computers would be a drastic positive change in the way our science class operates.

They will also be able to capture images seen as screenshots on the computers to edit, catalog, or include as part of an assignment. Students would be able to compare online images with what they are actually seeing under their microscopes. Lastly, with the ever evolving technology demands on our students, these microscopes allow them to be fluent in newer technology.
