My Project

I am writing to you today to request your generous support for my virtual science program, where we aim to inspire and educate middle school students about the wonders of science. I had a previous project funded with lab stools and some really cool prepared slides, but I have had to borrow microscopes from one of our in-person middle school to view them.

Our program is designed to provide an engaging and interactive virtual learning experience for students of all ages.

As part of our curriculum, I have planned hands-on experiments and demonstrations that will allow participants to explore various scientific principles. However, to enhance the quality of their learning experience, we are in need of microscopes of our own. Your contribution will directly impact the educational experience of our participants, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for science.

Your generosity will not only benefit the students participating in our program but will also contribute to the overall advancement of science education in our community. Your contribution in our program materials will make you a valued partner in promoting STEM education for our virtual students in need.
