My Project

Think back to your favorite memories from elementary school. Was it a hands-on experiment? Did you see something you had never seen before? These are the lasting memories I want to create for my learners this year.

These resources will provide my learners with engaging, hands-on experiences that will encourage them to possibly pursue STEM careers in the future.

Having access to a compound microscope and slides will open their eyes to a world of microorganisms. Beakers, test tubes, and graduated cylinders will allow us as a class to do multiple experiments and maybe a few explosions!

One of my goals as an educator is to make sure that my students have access to resources that help them envision what their life could be like in the future. With your help, you can put these resources in their hands!
