My Project

I teach curious and energetic middle and high school students who love exploring the world through science. From building models of the solar system to testing chemical reactions, my students are constantly on their feet—asking questions, running experiments, and recording data. However, our science lab is missing an essential feature: proper lab stools. Right now, many of my students sit on mismatched chairs that are not designed for lab safety or functionality.

When students feel comfortable and equipped in their environment, they are more likely to take risks, ask questions, and think like scientists.

These lab stools will create a classroom that looks and feels like a real science lab, inspiring my students to see themselves as future biologists, chemists, and engineers.
