My Project
Our school serves a community of hardworking students, many of whom come from low-income backgrounds. A significant number of our students face challenges in accessing technology at home, and this has become a considerable obstacle to their ability to complete STEM fair projects effectively.
We have observed that the lack of access to computers or iPads at home hinders their ability to engage in independent research, collaborate on projects, and present their findings creatively.
This is particularly true for our 5th-grade students, who are at a crucial stage in their academic development.
In the context of our upcoming STEM fair projects, we recognize the importance of providing equal opportunities for all students to explore and excel in the field of science. Unfortunately, the absence of technology resources at home puts our students at a disadvantage compared to their peers who have greater access to such tools.
Our 5th-grade class comprises a diverse group of students, many of whom come from underrepresented backgrounds. My students are enthusiastic learners who work diligently to overcome the challenges they face. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that they have the necessary resources to thrive academically and develop the skills required for success in the 21st century.
By providing a class iPad, slime kits, and other STEM materials for the 5th-grade science class, we aim to bridge the digital divide and empower our students to fully participate in the educational opportunities available to them. Your contribution will have a lasting impact on the academic and personal development of our students, creating a more equitable learning environment.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
