My school is in critical need of a laptop to assist them in their class research projects. Recently, my students have been studying many STEM lessons on how the weather affects our world. They have become very curious and want to seek further knowledge, but unfortunately, we do not have the technology tools that we need to create a study hall area for students to use technology throughout the school building. My students will benefit from these technology tools by enhancing their ability to become critical thinkers and expand their insights on various STEM-related topics. The goal of this project is to help my students gain all of the knowledge possible on different weather patterns and independent research projects for middle schoolers know our books are important, but what will make these science lessons come to life through projected videos from a computer.
