Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Despite having taken a number of science courses, few if any of my students have ever interacted directly with a scientist. Your donation can help change this.

My students will be the second ever college bound class from our school which is located in a major urban center.

All come from low socioeconomic Hispanic families. They are passionate about their education, their community, and our environmental science course.

My Project

Your donation will help fund a visit by the BioBus, a mobile microscope lab run and operated by scientists. Aboard the BioBus students will interact and learn from scientists as they are shown how to use research-grade microscopes. My students will also have the opportunity to learn about the numerous green-technologies (biodiesel, solar power, green roof, wind power) utilized by the bus.

Too often science classes are disconnected from the world of practicing scientists.

The BioBus provides the opportunity for students and scientists to interact and learn with one another. These new connections may even help inspire my students to become the next generation of scientists.
