My Project
I teach at a Title I school where many of my students face challenges far beyond the classroom. Despite the obstacles, they show up every day full of potential, curiosity, and a desire to learn. This year, our school is becoming a STEM-focused campus, and I’m working hard to create a classroom where students can explore, experiment, and develop real-world skills through hands-on learning.
My goal is to build a space where science, technology, engineering, and math come alive.
With the right materials—like basic supplies, manipulatives, kits, and tools—my students can design projects, build solutions, and learn through discovery. These are the kinds of experiences that not only deepen understanding but build confidence and open doors. Your support will help us create a classroom that empowers every student to imagine, invent, and thrive.
