Help me give my students the ability to do independent research. Science requires background knowledge that can achieved through research.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hester's classroom raised $430
This project is fully funded
My Project
In order to conduct research my students need technology at their fingertips. Being at an urban school, my district does not have the budget to give my students the supplies that thy need. Having iPads in the classroom will allow my students to do the necessary research it takes to complete projects. It is hard getting my kids to do fun experiments because we have no means of looking them up besides only the teacher's computer. This leaves the kids no way to do independent research needed to become self sufficient.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
