Thanks to your gift, we were able to purchase new light kits complete with mirrors, lasers, and light sensors.

The classroom now buzzes with curiosity and engagement as students experiment, observe, and discover the properties of light for themselves.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only enhanced our lessons but has also opened doors for students to see the possibilities that exist within science, technology, engineering, and math. Experiences like these can spark a lifelong interest in STEM fields and help students envision themselves as future scientists, inventors, or engineers.
