My Project

As a 7th grade Science teacher, one of my favorite parts about Ecology is that we have the chance to watch life taking place. Photosynthesis, cellular dynamics...it all can be viewed and put into context. All we need are microscopes that we can use with our program to amplify our viewing capacity.

My students deserve the opportunity to have digital microscopes in our lab while we research microbiology concepts and look at the real world taking place.

I have over 100 students, with a percentage of them having special needs, who would be ever so grateful to have new technology in our Science Lab.
