Colorful Science!
Funded Jan 11, 2020Thank you so much for providing my students with black and colored ink so my students can compete with other campuses printing their Science Fair slides in colored ink.
This generous donation will allow them to bring out their scientific ideas alive in a colorful manner. My students do not have access to a regular printer let alone a colored printer. This donation is so valuable to my studetns.”
With gratitude,

This classroom project was brought to life by Verizon and one other donor.Snap, Snap, Snap, Electricity We A Go!
Funded Nov 26, 2018I cannot even begin to express the gratitude I have for your generous donation to the students at Perez Elementary School. I teach at a low-income school where budgets are low and our students are need of materials that will challenge their thinking.
I teach in a science lab setting where I see 5th graders every day and 3rd and 4th graders once a week. My students are expected to learn how an open and closed circuit work. They must explore both series and parallel circuits including conductors and insulators of electricity. They explore the five types of energy; mechanical, electrical, light, thermal and sound energy including solar energy.
The Snap Circuits you donated to my classroom are being used by 5th grade students during class and then for after school tutorials and for the extended day program.
Students have been able to make the connections of making closed circuits to light a bulb or to get a motor moving or even to make sound. The Snaptricity Kit help students explore the different forms of energy and how electricity works. The 3D Illuminator, LIGHT and Arcade circuits are my students' favorites. Students explore how light energy, sound energy and electrical energy work. If you could only see their faces light up when they finally make all the connections and light up something, make a motor move or make an arcade sound. The kids absolutely love these kits.
I hope you enjoy the pictures I have enclosed and please know that these kits have provided the education through fun learning and hoping that someday many of my students will become electrical engineers.”
