Science Sparks!

My students need a document camera to enhance their learning experiments and experiences!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Stearns's classroom raised $508

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our students are budding scientists! They love learning new facts and conducting their own experiments!

My students attend a high poverty charter school in an urban neighborhood.

We do not have the funds to purchase the variety of technology that we need to become better scientists. My students deserve to use the best equipment in their journey to college level science!

My Project

Our students love using technology in any way they can and are eager to learn new things from it! A document projector will open so many doors for them. They'll be able to create and present computer presentations on their favorite science topics and watch me conduct experiments live!

In order to give my students these amazing technological experiences, we need a document projector.

Why should my students not have the experience that others get giving college-like presentations? You will make it possible! We'll be able to travel the world with the technology you can help us get. Help me take my students further than they've ever gone before!
