  • Future Scientists in the Making

    Funded Apr 8, 2022

    Thank you so very much for assisting me in providing the much needed resources for my class. These are items that are needed, but not readily available. Many students will be able to receive the resources they need because of you. We are so very grateful for your contribution; more students can be reached during the class period by assisting us in purchasing items that help us differentiate instruction.”

    With gratitude,

  • Physics Made Exciting; Let our Students Shine Through Physics Technology

    Funded Dec 1, 2021

    Thank you so much for your contribution towards our Physics department. You have invested in a dream that is coming to fruition. The 3-D printer and engraver are things we cannot just obtain with monies for our department. This is considered a luxury purchase, even though this equipment will prepare our students for post secondary education. We are allowing our students to be exposed to higher level learning so they can begin dreaming, but can also be more competitive in the real world. Technology will not be obsolete.

    My students are so excited to begin exploring a higher level of learning with this equipment. These tools of technology are not common for schools in our population. Our department is growing with your help. Students are WANTING to come to the physics department just so they can experience designing their own projects, and making their designs tangible. Thank you so much, this is only the beginning.”

    With gratitude,

  • Students Build Chaney Electrical Kits Supplemented By Teachers Pay Teachers

    Funded Mar 25, 2021

    Thank you so very much for the donations that you have provided. We have been able to expand our physics department through the design of our customized kits. Our students have been able to learn the basics, AND build on their knowledge by learning more complex techniques involved in circuitry.

    The resources that we were able to purchase has also exposed our students to college level materials and topics. The kits that were designed can be utilized by all level of learners, from beginners to advanced. This is yet the beginning of a higher level Physics department in a school district that struggled to fund more advanced departments.”

    With gratitude,

    Dr. Chavez

My students are at a disadvantage from being competitive in higher education. Many are first time college applicants. Introducing science technology and math into the equation makes it even more difficult for our kids to not only pursue science degrees after graduating from high school, the mere idea of becoming scientists are avoided. Purchasing a 3-D printer and laser cutter and all materials needed for our Physics classrooms provide our at risk youth a future. Being able to purchase these tools will not only excite our students, and introduce a creative way of learning, a 3-D printer and Laser cutter will help our students learn about graphing, conversions, scaling, designing prototypes, planning and creating, and bringing those creations to life. Their minds will be opened for future contributions. Our kids who rarely make it out of the neighborhood will be able to see a world of advanced technology, which will introduce them to new possibilities. These technological tools will expose our students to a higher level of learning so they can become more knowledgeable, more independent, and more confident in seeking future careers as scientists for our future. High poverty neighborhoods don't get these opportunities; the cycle rarely ends unless we do something about it. If we are able to purchase the 3-D printer and laser cutter, we will be able to strengthen our students' minds, and attract future students who never realized their potential. This is only the beginning.
