My Project

My students love science and the hands-on activities that we can now experience together and were unable to during the COVID-19 pandemic. My students were unable to work together on projects and experiments due to restrictions, and now that we are able to work together, I want to provide the materials necessary to learn together.

There is nothing better than walking into class as a kid and seeing that today is a fun, experiment day!

“It’s like the whole world gives us clues!”-Hayden, student

It’s up to educators to give tools to students that allow them the opportunity to discover more about our world. Without the ability to experience these hands-on activities during COVID-19, it is essential that the opportunities are given today and every single day moving forward.
