Help me give my students a digital microscope that will be used to enhance our STEM education program in Science.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Felix's classroom raised $225

Celebrating 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 Students
Our school is filled with the laughter and smiles of our beautiful Pre-k to 8th grade students. But there are some children, our exceptional students, who face many obstacles and challenges at school and within their communities. This wonderful group of exceptional children won't let anything get in their way of learning and having fun while they do so.
Our pre-K to 8 school is comprised of the most amazing students who are determined to succeed academically regardless of any circumstances they may encounter in their lives, communities, and school.
Many of our exceptional needs students must contend with various disabilities ranging from learning and speech delays to intellectual disabilities. They need support to help them succeed.
As part of a Title I school, the majority of these students' families have great financial needs. Our students are in need of basic services and qualify for the free or reduced-price lunch program. Recognizing these needs, our teachers turn to donors like you to help us provide basic supplies for our children. Every donation directly helps these students!
My Project
The digital microscope will enhance our STEM education program. Science teachers will be able to use the digital microscope and slides when teaching about bacteria, viruses, the human microbiome, and other life science topics. The microscope we are requesting will allow educators to directly display the contents being observed onto a SmartBoard for students to view clearly. This will also help with social distancing requirements as having the organisms displayed on the SmartBoard doesn't require any students to touch the knobs or place their eyes on the eyepiece any longer. The entire class can share the excitement of seeing the subjects being studied at the same time. We currently have only one microscope for 4 teachers to share.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
