My Students
Our inner city students come from various backgrounds, and English is not always their native language. They come to school wanting to learn, and they work hard because school is the safest place for a lot of them. We are a Title I school where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
When working in the Discovery Lab, it’s about applying creative thinking and design skills to transform our STEM projects to STEAM projects, encouraging students to imagine all the possibilities when their creative thinking meshes with engineering.
Going from a STEM school to a STEAM school is an important transition to show students the role art plays not only in the design process but in everyday life throughout our world. It's also about engagement.
When students enter my lab, excitement builds because they know they have challenges that they need to face like engineers, scientists, and many other creative professionals do in the real world. Students love working with their hands to create something or solve a problem. Our school is a wonderful place to learn because of the environment created by the staff. We show our love of learning to our students.
My Project
Over the last year my students have been really lucky to receive LEGO WeDo 2.0 Robotics kits through DonorsChoose.org. These robots are amazing, but we go through batteries like crazy! It’s hard to keep up with the demand of new batteries for every class period.
We need rechargeable batteries and charging cables to recharge our robots so that our learning doesn’t damage the environment we want to save!
Our robots help us do tests on a smaller scale so we can understand about the natural world around us. In class we’ve researched the damage batteries do in landfills. We hate the idea that as the batteries corrode, they leak chemicals into the landfills, which could end up in our water.
Please help our class continue to use our fantastic robots and stop us from damaging our Earth at the same time!
More than half of students from low‑income households
