My Students
Do you remember the 1960's, 70's and 80's? Well, my students don't and shouldn't have to, but with our outdated microscopes they seem to be stuck in another era. Please help my students investigate the fascinating world of science through the lenses of modern microscopes.
My students are brilliant!
Despite what the media wants the world to believe about young people who come from urban, under-resourced cities, my students break stereotypes through active scientific inquiry in the classroom. Help them develop their curiosity of the unseen world and one day pursue their dreams of becoming biomedical engineers, pediatricians, forensic scientists, nutritionists and environmental consultants through funding modern microscopes.
My Project
At the moment, "technology" (outdated microscopes) is actually hindering my students' learning. Investigating the "unseen" world should be fun, not frustrating. Students will be able to see their own cells before their very eyes! They will use this knowledge to think and explore real world issues such as cancer, genetic disorders, and bio-ethics.
Using modern microscopes will prepare my students for opportunities beyond the classroom with local biomedical organizations.
My students need exposure to modern scientific equipment that will allow them to fully compete in an ever advancing scientific world. With your help, we can make their dreams a reality.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
