My Project
What I admire most about middle school students is their passion for learning and their drive to make a positive impact on the world around them. They are curious, innovative, and eager to tackle challenges, especially when it involves using science, technology, engineering, and math to solve real-world problems. this project, "Waste to Taste," aligns perfectly with their energy and enthusiasm, as it empowers them to collect initiative that promotes environmental awareness and fosters deep understanding of sustainability and resourcefulness.
The resources provided for this project will help my students explore STEM concepts in a hands-on, impactful way.
From learning about food preservation and chemical reactions to understanding the engineering of juicing equipment, they will gain valuable knowledge and skills that connect directly to real-world problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and a sense of achievement that motivates them to keep striving for success. Your support will allow them to a something meaningful while embracing both creativity and sustainability, making this project an inspiring journey for them and our community.
