My Project
My students are curious, open-minded, and excited to learn, especially when they can explore science through hands-on activities that bring lessons to life. Unfortunately, many of them have not had access to labs or engaging STEM experiences in the past. The majority of my students attended an underserved middle school where resources for interactive learning are limited.
With your support, I can provide materials that allow students to experience the real-world impact of biotechnology and deepen their understanding through experiential learning.
These tools will help spark their curiosity, make science relevant to their lives, and empower them to think critically and solve problems—skills that are essential for the future. Your donation will help close the opportunity gap and give my students the kind of learning experiences they deserve.
