Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students will be competing at the district level Science Fair at the end of the month. While their projects are their own, they lack the equipment to conduct their experiment using the best apparatus available.

These GoDirect sensors will allow students to combine science and modern technology to collect data in real time and minimize chances of human error.

My students are eager competitors and realize that digital tools can enhance their data collection process over the analog equipment we have immediately available. These probes will bring a level of enhanced professionalism to their scientific inquiry.
