My Project

Using these biographies will help my students gain a better understanding of the world today. As the Content Literacy/Science Specialist, I consciously chose such diverse individuals, in order to introduce all students to a variety of important change makers and to make them aware that no matter who they are or where they came from, with hard work and passion, they can accomplish great things as well.

These books will help students to gain the knowledge they need to continue to build a science background and continue to grow in the area of science and engineering.
