STEM Lab Needed

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Smith's classroom raised $9,123

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 outstanding students are in desperate need of a real STEM lab. Currently, they are studying in a poorly equipped classroom without any way to collaborate or experiment to practice actual science.

"How can we practice to be real scientists and engineers without the right equipment?", said one of my students in true frustration.

And they are absolutely correct. Our class does not have working storage spaces, collaborative desks, or a teacher demonstration table.

Please help us transform our classroom into a place where my high school students can explore and practice STEM concepts and experiments in a real STEM lab.
