My Project

My AIG students are curious, creative thinkers who love asking big questions and chasing the “why” behind everything.

They are the students who want to look closer, dig deeper, test ideas, and notice details most people miss.

The TOMLOV DM301 Pro Digital Microscope will give students a powerful tool for hands-on exploration. With its screen, wireless use, HDMI output, and slide kit, students can observe specimens, compare textures, study tiny details, and share what they discover with classmates.

This microscope will support enrichment activities in science, research, STEM challenges, observation skills, critical thinking, and student-led investigations. Students can examine plant parts, insects, fibers, rocks, soil, leaves, and prepared slides while learning how scientists observe carefully and make evidence-based conclusions.

This project will give my AIG students a fun, challenging tool that matches their curiosity and lets them say, “Wait… zoom in more!”

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
