  • Exploring the World Outside MY Door

    Funded Mar 1, 2025

    From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Truly. It's because of incredible people like you that my students get the chance to fully embrace the wonders of science. I am deeply committed to ensuring my students genuinely grasp the topics we explore, and I firmly believe the most effective way to achieve this is through hands-on science lessons. Your generous donation of the Meta Quest glasses has already ignited a newfound passion for science in my students, and for that, I am profoundly thankful.

    You see, my ultimate goal is to provide my students with the tools they need to not just survive, but thrive and excel in this fast-paced world. To do so effectively, making science education hands-on is crucial, and that often requires more resources than are readily available. As an educator, I aim to empower them for future success by immersing them in educational experiences that foster lifelong learning, critical thinking, and personal growth. I firmly believe that by instilling a love for science now, they'll be more likely to see the remarkable opportunities that STEM fields offer and understand how these opportunities can open countless doors throughout their lives.

    Your contribution of the VR glasses is a significant step towards making this vision a reality. It's allowing us to move beyond textbooks and create truly immersive learning experiences, from exploring the intricacies of the human body to venturing into the vastness of space. This technology will not only make abstract concepts more tangible but also spark a deeper curiosity and a more profound understanding of the world around them. You know, when I thought about bringing virtual reality into our lessons, it wasn't just about the cool factor of flying through the solar system (though trust me, they loved that!). It's about taking them places they could only dream of.

    I take my responsibility as an educator incredibly seriously, and I am dedicated to offering my students every exciting opportunity to explore the world of STEM. My ongoing quest for materials and resources, including embracing innovative tools like VR, is driven by my unwavering commitment to their growth and success. I wholeheartedly credit wonderful donors like you for helping me become the teacher I am today, and for empowering me to provide these invaluable experiences to my students. Thank you, from the very depths of my teacher heart, for your exceptional support.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Abuhabsah-Ghusein
