Help me give my students a COOL working environment where they can focus on their STEM (science technology engineering math) projects!

My Students
The school is situated in a rural area on the westernmost part of O'ahu, Hawaii. Our children face daily challenges and desperately need our support and care.
We serve a high population of students in poverty who lack reliable transportation and for most of them, it is difficult to get the basic school supplies that are needed to learn.
Please join me in supporting our students that need a leg up in society. I believe education is a priority and it should not be hindered for those that come from low-socioeconomic neighborhoods.
My Project
The students always look forward to coming into the STEM Lab and it is one of their favorite places to go to on campus. They enter the STEM Lab to become young scientists and engineer. It is a place where they can enjoy learning, building, conducting experiments, and completing hands-on engineering design challenges. Recently, the old air conditioning units in the STEM Lab have finally given out, therefore no longer providing students with a conducive working environment where they can stay focused on their science and engineering projects. The temperatures are getting warmer and warmer as summer quickly approaches and we hope to keep the STEM Lab open to students during their summer school semester.
Having 2 air conditioners in our STEM Lab would be greatly appreciated so that students can stay cool and keep their focus on their learning.
As we probably already know, the heat makes it difficult for students to concentrate, and research has shown that high temperatures can hinder the learning process for children. When our students are hot, their brain focuses on how hot their body is, and not about the learning going on in the room. Please help us in providing our students with a cool STEM Lab working environment, where they can stay focused on their learning and enjoy being young scientists and engineers!
