My Project

Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) is vital in education today. Advances and opportunities are at the fingertips of each young mind when they have the proper resources available. The students are eager to learn and achieve in all aspects of STEAM.

The equipment that is currently accessible is often in disrepair or nonexistent.

Microscopes, measuring devices, and basic experimental items will greatly enhance the learning experience of all.

The ability to access new and useful STEAM materials will not only benefit the students in their present education but also in their future lives beyond the classroom. Sparking interest in these fields at a young age is the first step.
