  • My Students Are Loving Becoming Scientists!

    Funded Oct 25, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donation! This has been a huge additional to our program. The students are so excited to work with these lab kits every week!

    We are using these kits every week to help our 5th grade students with Science Standards. They enjoy these labs and are learning to enjoy Science as well! It is so wonderful to see them learning while having fun!

    I love how these kits are so hands on and engaging. We could never have given this opportunity to our 5th grade students without your support! You have made a difference and we appreciate your generosity so much!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Kathy McCarthy

  • My Students Love Science and Stem!

    Funded Sep 23, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donations!! You are making a huge difference in these students lives. They need this hands on exposure to Science, Technology, Math and Art!

    The project that you helped fund has been a huge enrichment and opportunity for them. They have learned so much about the Solar System, lunar eclipses, etc. through the hands on Lakeshore lab that was funded with this project.

    The students love the hands on LakeShore STEM labs that were funded with this

    project. They have creatively built structures while learning about Physics, Velocity, Acceleration and Deceleration.

    In addition, the KEVA blocks have been a big hit with everyone. They introduce creativity, architectural skills and even an introduction to the Mathematical Fibonacci sequence. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!”

  • My STEAM Class Loves Chemistry!

    Funded Sep 21, 2023

    Thank you so much for your support which enabled us to create a STEM/STEAM Elementary Chemistry program for our students at SouthEast.

    This was a tremendous opportunity for them. As you can see, they are having so much fun and at the same time learning about Chemistry and the properties of matter: solids, liquids, and gas. They have loved creating Chemistry experiments following the Scientific Method, creating a hypothesis and documenting the results.

    This will be an experience that will open our students eyes to the magic of Science and how cool and fun it is! I see them continuing with their interest in the future!!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Kathy McCarthy

    This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 3 other donors.
  • Steam Projects for K - 5 Title I School

    Funded Aug 28, 2023

    Thank you so much for your donation to our new STEAM class. We started this class in August without any STEM/STEAM supplies or curriculum. The children in our school love this program and have learned to love Science, STEM, and STEAM. They are learning so much and enjoying the hands on opportunity and curriculum you have donated to Southeast Elementary in Brighton.

    You have truly made a difference in this Equity Focus school!

    The children love the physics lego set from the STEM Pairing selection, which is a terrific challenge for them! In addition, they are so excited to participate in gardening science projects included in the additional STEM perfect pairing collection which will also help them with their Science Standards.

    We have used our STEM learning labs at least once a week! The children have increased their problem solving skills and creativity skills with these wonderful labs. In addition, as you can see from the pictures, they are having a wonderful time and are so excited to be able to have access to these wonderful learning opportunities!

    We will be using our just add baking soda program soon. We are just waiting on donations for safety glasses which I have recently opened another Donor Choose project for. They can not wait!!

    My sincerest appreciation!”

My students are so excited to come to STEAM class everyday! They love learning about Science and they are really learning so much by having fun. In addition, they also love learning about all the potential STEAM / STEM / Science careers that are available to them in the future. Through grants they have the opportunity to be exposed to stimulating Science experiences while also helping them achieve their Science Standard goals. This is a Title 1 school with terrific kids that are so appreciative of the opportunities they are able to access with this STEAM class.
