My Project

My students are bright, curious, and full of energy. They love to explore, ask questions, and learn through hands-on experiences. As part of our new STEAM Lab, we are building a space where young learners can investigate, create, and discover in ways that spark a lifelong love of learning. What makes my students so special is their enthusiasm and willingness to dive into new challenges, even when the concepts are big.

This microscope kit will open a whole new world of learning opportunities.

The SWIFT SW380B microscope will allow students to explore microscopic organisms, cells, crystals, and other fascinating specimens up close. These tools will help them connect what they see in books to real-life investigations and give them the chance to practice important science skills like observation, comparison, and documentation. My goal is to give every student, from our youngest explorers to our future scientists, the opportunity to experience science in a meaningful, hands-on way that builds curiosity and confidence.

With your support, our students will zoom in on the tiny details that make up the world around us and develop a deeper understanding of biology and the scientific process. This microscope will not only help us meet academic standards, but it will also turn science into something they can see, touch, and get excited about every day.
