Young Scientists Rising Above the Challenge!
Funded Oct 30, 2024Thank you so much for the incredible donation. My students were able to complete their science projects. They have been able to use the computer to type their project information and create their graphs. The printer was very useful in that they printed out their information for the boards and the abstracts. Without this technology it would have been very difficult to meet the registration deadlines for competitions.
With your help my students were given the opportunity to complete at District level with their informational boards they created using the laptop and printer from Donors Choose.
They placed in the top 2 at the District Science Fair with 22 of our 31 students advancing to the Regional Science Fair at University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. Their boards were amazingly created. 22 of our Hawks advanced to the Regional fair with 18 placing in the top 4 of each category. 7 advanced to the State Science Fair at Texas A&M College Station this past March. I had 6 girls and 1 boy advance with 6 being 6th graders and 1 and 8th grader. The 6th graders had never been out of town and my 8th grader, this was her 3rd trip to State.
The trip gave my students not only the opportunity to showcase their research, but also gain experiences that will be needed when they become independent such as staying at a hotel or ordering at a restaurant, which for most of my students that traveled never had that opportunity. Your donation has made a positive difference in their lives and given them experience they had never had. They made beautiful memories and without your help this would have been difficult to do.”
